Which consequence results when antivenom contains competing antibodies?

💡 Explanation

Reduced venom neutralization occurs because an ineffective antibody response out-competes effective venom-binding antibodies due to antibody cross-reactivity. Therefore effectiveness lessens, rather than accelerated inflammatory response or increased binding site saturation happens which would result from synergistic effects.
