    I am a Jehovah’s Witness and do not accept components of whole blood. If I were bitten by a rattlesnake, would I be able to be treated with CroFab®?
    CroFab® - Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) is a blood/serum-derived product. CroFab® is not a recombinant product, it is a polyclonal antibody fragment product derived from the whole blood of sheep. All antivenoms are produced in this manner as it is nearly impossible to make a recombinant antivenom since venom is comprised of hundreds of antigens. If your religion prevents you from being treated with anything derived from the blood of animals, you would not be able to receive any antivenoms.
