I know I saw the report on tv this year but I can't remember where. I do know that he's been a snake handler since he was in his early 20's(?) and now he has an institute where he collects snake venom, purifies it, and sells it for research, etc. I was amazed to find out that an gram of certain dried venom can fetch up to and over $1000!

Maybe I should ask my allergist to start injecting me with diluted snake venom.

BTW, what is his full name?
