Like 10 years ago I saw a special on Discovery about a guy who had been injecting rattle snake venom for years - he looked like he was 45 years old and in his prime...but he was actually 76. And he never got sick.

There is no such thing as total poison immunity. A person can build a tolerance to a poison just like any drug or chemical that alters bodily function. Over time with prolonged exposure to small doses, the body will increase its ability to process the poison and remove the compound from the body more quickly and alter the number of sites the compound can act on to lower the effect.

oh right wrong story...

the african tribesman would take snakes and harvest their poison. then they would take super small amounts and do the same thing to their children and POW resistance to snake venom

resistance maybe, never a true immunity...
