Corrected entry: Several characters, including the snake expert, Jackson and the FBI guy with him, repeatedly refer to antivenom instead of antivenin. It is acceptable that the others would make this mistake, but surely the expert should have known better.

Correction: The terms are interchangeable. In the early 1980's, the World Health Authority decided that "antivenom" was the preferred English language terminology. As such, "antivenin", while still accurate, is now considered somewhat archaic among English speakers. The use of "antivenom", as seen in the film, is entirely correct.
