Steve Ludwin is a man we can call fearless as he seemed undisturbed by the statistics which say that “an estimated 100,000 people worldwide die from snakebites each year and another 250,000 are permanently disabled.”

The 46-year-old rocker is so obsessed with snakes and is one of a  handful who regularly inject venom into their bodies with increasing the quantity each time.

“Injecting venom is like your immune system doing the Jane Fonda workout video,” he says. “When a cold or any of those pussy swine flu things enter my body, my white blood cells laugh it off.”
