This liquid supposedly has three times the energy content of buffalo milk, making it one of the most nutritious substances on the planet.

Snake catcher Joe Quililan from the Philippines has been named the “Venom Man” for his unusual habit of letting poisonous snakes bite him every week in order to boost his resistance to their venom.

Instead of being rushed to the hospital, the teen just went on with his day as if nothing had happened, which made him realize that he was probably immune to its venom.
