VICE: Getting High Injecting Snake Venom

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

The hemotoxins which attack human blood cells in a tree viper's venom can result in an agonising death in less than 30 minutes. The neurotoxins in a cobra bite can kill a person in half that time. for the past 20 years Steve Ludwin has been sticking all this lovely deadly snake juice in a syringe and mainlining it all the way to immortality. Privately milking an array of deadly snakes including rattlesnakes, monocled cobras, and a few casual vipers thrown in to the mix, Steve has been injecting what would for any normal human be fatal amounts venom into his body since the late 80s.

I dont know if he's pretentious. I've never heard about him until this. Maybe he preaches in his own circles.
You can't deny the results, assuming the photos shown and the ages he said he was at the time, the guy doesn't look a day older than 28. Maybe he dyes his hair?
Either way, probably everyones first reaction to things like this is "how stupid can one person be?", but you can't deny that human beings have the intelligence (even when dropping out of highschool, apparently) to explore fatal circumstances and learn from them. I could see a well-educated scientist studying venom all his life, and dying from the first attempted injection, so who really knows.
Either way, it's interesting, and I'll certainly be keeping my ear to the ground for news of his death.
