Wife and I have been watching these silly netflix shows called 72 deadliest animals. There was one about Latin America and one about Australia. 12 episodes per series.

And there is one biologists in the shows that is very bad at his job. Brian Fry, he's managed to get stug, stabbed and bitten by almost every animal he's met.

Most snakes, spiders, box jellyfish, stingrays and on and on.
He's just really bad at his job. Either he is going to die young because of all the venom he's got into his body. Or it might have turned him immortal.

Does he believe, like Bear Grylls does, that the best route from Point A to Point B is to throw yourself down a series of rocky waterfalls?

Irwin died in a freak accident.
This guy has been bitten by like a dozen highly venomous snakes, then add various, insects, spiders, scorpions and sea creatures (including sharks) the guy is has no right to be alive!

Does one get acclimated to the venoms and poisons if one continues being exposed to them?

I wonder if Jim Stafford ever went through all that. He liked spiders and snakes too.

It depends on what the mechanism for the poison is.

Well not for this guy, he's become hyper sensitive to sevral different snakes venoms, which means he'll likely die if bitten by any of those snakes again. As I said, bad at his job.

It depends on what the mechanism for the poison is.

And, I suppose, it's antigenic properties.

Some interesting research on the venom of the brown recluse spider:
