It is true that one can become immune to snake toxins by repeated
injections of increasing dosage over time.  Probably the same is true of
cone toxins.  However, such immunity is not without cost.  It has been
found that persons immunized in this manner suffered irreparable liver
and kidney damage in the process, which may well have ultimately led to
their early demise.
