"There was nothing that could be done to save the man. Only the anti-venom could have helped, but this was not given in time. It was just a tragic accident."

BE PREPARED!

If you are going to be handling spitting cobra venom and are afraid of a "needle stick" (as happens in hospital environments with syringes), why not have some "anti-venom" onhand next to the fire extinguisher?"

If the authorities don't mind you preparing this dish in your kitchen (where venom could possibly contaminate other dishes), then why the restriction on antivenum?

some people are just nuts and you expect a commie country not to restrict stuff?

From what I understand, antivenom needs very special handling to stay effective. I don’t think it can be kept very long.
