Steve Ludwin

Every year hundreds of thousands of people die from snakebites and we're running out of anti-venom. Steve Ludwin's blood, now immune after thirty years of injecting snake venom, could solve this crisis.

Steve Ludwin travels to Sweetwater, Texas to see 16 all-American girls climb into a pit of poisonous snakes, decapitate and skin them in a bid to become Miss Snake Charmer at the world’s largest "Rattlesnake Roundup."

Steve Ludwin visits a church in West Virginia where the worship centres around handling deadly snakes, setting yourself on fire, drinking poison and refusing medical attention when things inevitably go wrong.

Steve Ludwin, the host of VICE's upcoming three-part series Snakeman, breaks down why he injects snake venom, how it has made him look 20 years younger and how he may have accidentally become the solution to the world antivenom crisis.

We met with a guy who's been injecting himself with snake venom for 20 years and he looks better than ever.
