Yes , Snake venoms are used in manufacturing chemotherapatic drugs , hence patients would have side effects like nausea ,vomitting, severe hair fall .

Yes of late they are being used. The vaccines are divided into "supportive drugs" used to reduce the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy, and "specific drugs" designed to fight tumours.
