California : Some people pop vitamin pills to re-energise, others drink coffee but Daredevil Steve Ludwin, from California, USA, is known for his unorthodox practice of injecting himself with snake venom.
The 50-year-old has been flooding his bloodstream with the toxic fluid a few times a week for the past 28 years.
Steve has made numerous TV appearances explaining his love for snake venom, which he believes has stopped him from contracting a cold for over 13 years.
Steve Ludwin prefers snake venom – not a brand of energy drink but actual snake venom, which he’s been injecting into himself a few times a week for the past 28 years.
Ludwin, 50, originally from California, says he has not suffered from cold or flu for 13 years and is convinced it’s down to his unorthodox medication.
Steve Ludwin has had a fascination with the slithering reptiles since childhood.
Not only did he keep a boa constrictor as a pet, he was also bitten by a non-venomous snake at the age of six.
He met Bill Haast, a man who milked rattlesnakes and cobras for a living before dying at the age of 100, which sparked his interest in the barmy health method.
Ludwin believes that snake venom has rejuvenating properties, preventing him from getting ill and keeping him feeling young.
