Answer by Asst Prof
Exercise or vitamins are not going to help you become resistant to snake venom. Intake of snake venom MIGHT be useful in imparting natural active immunity, but there would be a lot of variables. Taking some vaccine would be the most practical way to generate natural active immunity.
Probably carrying an antivenin kit to immediately give artificial passive immunity would be the best.
