There is no antivenom, and they are difficult to milk for research purposes. The technique I have heard of is allowing them to chew on a sterile rubber sponge, possibly along with a dose of one of the drugs that reliably increases salivation and can be harmlessly reversed (neostigmine if I recall correctly).
