We certainly know a lot of species of snakes are famous for its very deadly poison. But do you know if in this world there are several types of animals other than snakes that have a poison that is not less deadly than the snake poison ???
- Snails
We may not think that snails are venomous animals. Most snails are not poisonous, but cone snails are one of the most toxic animals in the world. Cone snails are commonly found around coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. Anyone who is stung by one of these snails may have only a few minutes to live. Although the body is only 4- 6-inch size, but the poison is hundreds of times stronger than morphine. Scientists are still trying to figure out the best way to utilize it.
- snake
Can snakes are probably the most understood and used to treat heart attacks, blood disorders, high blood pressure, mild heart attacks, blood clots, brain injuries and more. The use of snake venom as a medicine began thousands of years ago, when Indian and Chinese culture used cobra poison. Then in 1960, Hugh Alistair Reid made the breakthrough. He was a doctor in Malaya when he discovered that the poison of Malayan poisonous snakes could help blood clots. This success inspired many discoveries of the use of other snake poison.
- scorpion
Researchers are studying how toxins from several different animals can help with cancer treatment and cure, and scorpion venom is the key. Scorpion venom is believed to help shrink and slow tumor growth. Scientists have also tested the toxic effects on cancer cells.
- Spiders
Spider venom has proven useful to fight pain, cancer, muscular dystrophy and other diseases. The Black Widow spider has the most beneficial toxins, but other spiders such as brown ascetic spiders, parson spiders and pocket spiders also have useful toxins. If you can not learn to like spiders, at least you can appreciate them from a distance.
