Carrying the Antidote: Difference between revisions

* A greedy doctor purposely infects the crew of Moya on ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' so he can charge them a huge fee for the cure. Which only he knows how to make.

* Once again, ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' has done this one (in ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|The Next Generation]]'' episode "The Most Toys") where a planet had been poisoned by a substitute that had a rare antidote. It turned out the person they bought the antidote off was the villain who had poisoned the planet in the first place, using the rarity of the antidote as a way of gaining access to the ''Enterprise''. The crew only cottoned on when they arrived at the planet and learned for the first time that the poisoning was so specific in quantity that the trader had mysteriously managed to give them the ''perfect'' quantity for curing it, something he couldn't have done without knowing in advance the exact level of poisoning they needed to cure.

* Played with in ''[[Get Smart (TV)|Get Smart]]''. When Smart is given a 24 hour poison, he ultimately gets the antidote by poisoning his poisoner with a concentrated sample, forcing him to run to his lab to administer the antidote, while Max follows. The two fight over the antidote but both fall unconscious before they can drink it. Fortunately for Max, the antidote they were manufacturing at CONTROL is completed in time.

* One particular villain on ''[[Chuck]]'' poisons several characters with a truth serum that also eventually kills you. He not only carries the antidote on his person but has more of it stored in his apartment.

== [[Real Life]] ==

* Some venomous animals. In some cases, eating the animal (or some part of it) can work, though one shouldn't rely on it.
