The physical comes as the venom starts to destroy the flesh around the bite and workings its way out from there. The cure will devastate your wallet if you do not have insurance. Thankfully both were minimized by quick treatment (within a few hours) and having insurance. I understand rattle snake venom works much quicker. There is anti-venoms made for all kinds of venomous creatures, spiders, ticks, various aquatic creatures. Some require different methods to obtain the venom from them, and most likely different methods for creating the anti-venom as well.
