Was the anti-venom the most expensive part? I have heard that there is a shortage of the serum (sp?) these days.

Yes the serum was $66,000.00 & the hospital room was 600.00. One thing that cost did teach me was how the serum is produced. They inject the snake venom into either a horse or a goat, and the animal produces the antivenom serum. Also I learned that baby snake bites are worse than adult snake bites because baby snakes do not control the amount of venom they let loose. They let it all go, while adults do not release all of their venom.
