Snake Antivenin
"To build a better snake antivenin, take one chicken, inject small doses of snake venom, then harvest proteins from where they accumulate in the hen's eggs. Scientists at the Vittal Mallya Scientific Research Foundation in Bangalore, India say the new method produces a less expensive antidote with fewer side effects than horse-serum-based antivenins currently in use." -National Geographic (May 2005)- =)
