Search for a universal antidote: Volunteer takes snake bites for scientific research

Nearly five and a half million people around the world are bitten by snakes every year.
Many of those incidents cause death or permanent injury.
But one man, in the US state of Wisconsin, has been bitten hundreds of times and survived.
That's made scientists curious and could lead to the discovery of a new antidote.
