    (ARL) was the first to contact Dr.George Oluoch of KSRIC on Oct 29,
    2020, 5:05 PM by an email. Through the letter, we sought partnerships
    in the distribution/clinical trials of a venom based anti-venom of
    indigenous origin. Sure of the efficacy of our antivenin, we little knew of
    the regulations that govern the sale of drugs but have since evolved.
    Since October 29th 2020, we have sent a total of 9 emails some which
    include the full of our we make the antivenom. We have sent emails of

    which was to Kenya Wildlife Services.

    not poison when swallowed but a digestible protein. The antidote
    effectively stops SBE from multiple species of snakes.
