  abstract = {{S}nakebites and the scorpion stings constitute a neglected public health problem, first because their incidence is poorly known and, second, because low income populations are involved. {A}ccidents of envenoming are still regarded cis inevitable, leading to limitations of their management. {A} better knowledge of the incidence and severity of the envenoming should result in a better control. {A}ntivenoms are well tolerated, due to high purification of immunoglobulin, and became the most effective treatment. {B}ut they remain inaccessible to the populations of underdeveloped countries because of its high cost but also logistic difficulties. {WHO} has made recommendations to standardize the manufacture of the antivenoms and facilitate their diffusion where required.},
