Origin:
The word "antitoxic" originated in the 19th century as part of the growing field of immunology, which studies the body's response to foreign substances. In the late 1880s, Emil von Behring and Shibasaburo Kitasato discovered that the blood serum of animals injected with a specific toxin contained substances that could neutralize that toxin. These substances were called "antitoxins."
