Toxinology

Antivenom

Toxinologists

Prominent nonliving people in the field of toxinology include:

Francesco Red i - good article

S Weir Mitchell - long article but it misses his huge amount of toxinology work

Joseph Fayrer - good, does mention Thanatophidia of India and work with Lauder Brunton

Thomas Richard Fraser has one but no tox, needs a mention of his antivenom work

Vital Brazil check the sourcing on the claim to have scorpion antivenom in 1908. I think this was from the Houssay article, which contradicts itself by mentioning scorps as 1908 and 1916. I have the original publication and should be able to figure out if there is a mistranslation involved. The date matters because of the timeline involving Mexico (Vergara Lope) and Egypt (Lister), both of which I think got there before Brazil.

Joseph McFarland (new) He did a whole lot more than play with antivenom, and his bio should reflect that. But he was the first in North America to immunize a horse with pit viper venom and deserves credit for that.

Emil von Behring - erroneously refers to "an article" with Kitasato covering both tetanus and diphtheria. These were two papers. The difference matters because of later criticism over who got the Nobel

Shibasaburo Kitasato His article does mention the Nobel snub
