Here is another article that goes into more depth about venoms and autoimmune disease (some PNs are autoimmune).

There are (were) some OTC products made for chronic pain from venom:

And here is another recent venom discussion:

I really like the part in the national geographic article. It appears they are being very cautious that these upcoming meds would work on specific cells and not have all the side effects many of the drugs today cause.

It's a very interesting article and proves that you never know what may be useful. Thank goodness for those who are willing to place their time in these discoveries.

That would be wonderful!
