I recently stumbled upon this video on YouTube and to be frank, it definitely made me cringe.

The video shows us Tim Friede, an amateur scientist from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin who claims he has invented a vaccine against deadly snake bites.

According to Friede, he has been bitten more than 160 times in just 16 years. He’s doing it intentionally to test his immunity.

You name it, he’s probably been bitten by it – such as black mambas and taipans which can instantly kill any person in minutes.

Tim Friede keeps deadly snakes at home. To conduct his experiments, he allows them to bite him.

Since he doesn’t have a real lab and proper funding, he conducts all his strange experiments at home which eventually cost him his marriage. His wife divorced him but he’s not letting anything get in the way of his snake obsession.

Although Friede doesn’t hold any degree in medicine or science, his project is backed by Brian Hanley, a PhD Microbiologist from the University of California. Friede hopes that through Butterfly Sciences, Hanley’s company, they can eventually complete the vaccine and find investors to make it available to the general public.

Once proven successful, Friede’s invention can be a real breakthrough for humanity.

Michael Touger, MD, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and medical director of the Jacobi Medical Center Snakebite Treatment Program, said:

“Snakebites in Africa are a real problem — and has drawn some attention because of the high mortality rate. In rural areas there is no access to medication.”

So if Friede’s experiments are proven to be successful, his vaccine can literally change the world and save millions of lives.

An opossum was found at an intersection in Riverside, California with two crossbow arrows lodged in its body. It miraculously survived despite being shot in the head and torso last Friday. The marsupial looked terrified and hurt even when it was found trying to remove the crossbows from its body.

The Riverside County Department of Animal Services said that the crossbows struck the side of the body of the opossum and just above his right eye. A caller found the marsupial and immediately reported it to officials. The department did not delay and went straight to the location of the animal.

This opossum got shot with two crossbows.

There’s a vacation in Hawaii. And then there’s a vacation in Hawaii with the greatest experience of having a whale jump right in front of you. Talk about going on the best vacation ever. These two lucky paddle boarders had the greatest magical experience of having an orca follow them around and well, breach on their peaceful break.

The paddle boarders, a guy and a girl, were off the west coast of Maui when the orca, or humpback whale, decided to breach and make an appearance right in front of them. The said area is very famous for the presence of whales and whale sightings by tourists. This event happens a lot during the winter months. There are more than 10,000 whales that spend their winters at the areas of Maui, Lana’i, Kaho’olawe and Molokai. They reside in these areas for mating and calving season.
