More interesting to me though is that there is now research underway using the toxin to treat severe cases of chronic pain that have been unresponsive to current pharmaceuticals. It had to be a brave and desperate person to be one of the first volunteers to test it.
Wow, it's really interesting that you say that, TalnSG, because my Mom and I both have a chronic pain disease that's unresponsive to medication. I'll have to do some research on that, because in my spare time I become an herbalist. I'm always on the hunt for new remedies, and old. Thank you for posting this, TalnSG, this is really helpful.

I have heard of a similar situation, where the toxin in a fish, or some other creature was used to treat some kind of medical issue. I just can't remember right now. Lol...But I do appreciate this, thank you.
