      It is interesting to know that scorpians and vipers could become a means to a cure. I can even see past the two time I have been stung by a scorpian.;) Scorpians here are not deadly, just hurts for 24 hours after being stung, unless one applies bleach to the wound!

      Thanks Capn_caveman!

        Very interesting. But I'm not sure I want to see a picture of a scorpion on a syringe that's injecting me with something. Might prefer one of nice, cuddly Gila Monster.

          I think I heard on the news last night that alligator blood might save lives because of its unusually strong immune system capabilities. I didn't catch the full story.
