chrismackey1972 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Is it a toxicologist, venomologist or a toxincologist, or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much! Edited May 3, 2021 by chrismackey1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematic Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Why is the name of a particular specialty important? I presume venomology is narrower than toxicology. Try Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I think it's typically a horse that produces antivenoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listed him as a toxicologist I wasn't sure venomologist was even a valid word. (Apparently it is.*) I think toxicologist is more reader-friendly. You can have his backstory one in which, having trained a a toxicologist, he narrows his field to focus on the production of anti-venoms. *I was curious as to how common the word was and found a mere 111 hits for venomologist on google.scholar. One of more of them might be of use to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
