Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you.

Like me, perhaps you are somewhat distressed when a spider approaches–so you squish it. But having read “Nature’s Swiss Army Knife: What Can We Learn From Venom,” I am trying to minimize my spider aversion. The article detailed the medicinal value of hundreds of venom’s components. It described the laboratory shelves where the Gila monster, the Chilian rose tarantulas, and the cone snails are stored. It told how you squeeze out their venom. Indeed, this article, had images, facts, and uses for venom that we won’t forget. Do take a look.
