Anyway, I think this is an awesome video I saw it before on TV and from what I see those procedures look very promising and I would like to see them become cures some day! Amazing isn’t it using a deadly substance to keep people alive, sounds crazy, but its a very intelligent idea!

Poisonous snakes of the world have evolved with a special gland that produces modified salvia that kills or paralyzes their prey. This “toxic spit” along with hollow teeth or “fangs” allows poisonous snakes to quickly strike and inject their prey. This makes them some of the world’s most deadly hunters. But venomous snakes will also strike out of self defense when threaten, which is the most common way that people get attacked. Scaring a poisonous snake can be a quick ticket to the local emergency clinic.
