TV Program: Nature: The Venom Cure

Poisons, toxins and venoms are the defense and attack mechanisms of the natural world. Gila monsters are armed with toxic saliva; cone shells use poison harpoons; scorpions sting; snakes and spiders inject their victims with venom; and blue-ringed octopuses and poison dart frogs kill anything that touches their skin. Almost any of these deadly weapons could kill a human in moments. Yet scientists are finding impressive new possibilities for them – new drugs, new cures, new ways to save lives.
