I've heard of 2 types of responses to this type of thing one is like bill haast were he may not be fully immune to venom but it sure takes a lot less antivenom to counter it. I beleave he was bit by a cape cobra and instead of the usual 25-30 viles it only took 5 or so(its been yrs sinse reading that article so dont quote me on quantities of antivenom.) I know he went to the hospital abd it a lot less then normal plus his recovery was faster.

Then you have greg fry who does not inject himself with venom but has exposure the old fashion way and now has an alergic reaction to venom.
read that in a article in reptiles magizine.

I've heard both sides and knowing my luck i will develope an alergic reaction to it.
