The Polyvalency of Crotalidic Antivenins [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 1939 Summary With American pit viper venoms the fatal dose for 20 gram mice injected intraperitoneally approximates that for 350 gram pigeons injected intravenously. No difference in time of onset and character of paralysis from very toxic and less toxic venoms, such as was observed in pigeons, was seen in mice.

Western Journal of Medicine, 2001 Many physicians believe it is dangerous to treat snakebites using polyvalent crotalid antivenin because of the high risk of anaphylaxis. The study by Offerman and colleagues, however, suggests that fears about the antivenin are unfounded. Their findings add to the literature suggesting that anaphylactic shock is extremely rare.
