Jessica, that's the way it is with any antivenin. Antivenins are made by injecting horses. with the venom because horses are so large they then build up antibodies and they use horse's blood to make that antivenin. So if you have an allergic reaction to the horse's blood, yes, you can go into anaphylactic shock and that can cause a real problem.
So people sometimes are allergic to the antivenin itself, which can be sometimes more dangerous than the venom. This is why, you know, you guys are all too young, but way back, one of my first jobs was a place called the Miami Serpentarium.

You know, I hope so. I mean, I've already seen birds of prey eating them. I've seen snakes eating them. We just don't have enough predation on them because they reproduce at such a rapid rate and they're spreading so much. By the way, Tony, I met your sister. I didn't know you were you were related to like major politicians here in the state of Florida. Yeah, absolutely. That's big, man.

The orca could have certainly hurt him, even killed him. That's not to say that orcas effectively will go after people.

So it's not like they're gonna look at you and go, oh my God, I wanna kill. They feed on seals, sea lions. They do kill great white sharks, as we know, but they don't necessarily look at humans. However, if some dumb ass human jumps on me as a belly flop, yeah, just out of anger, might turn around and just, you know, screw them up. And that could have been what I call natural selection.
