Kinda interesting that something that might be able to kill you can actually save you! See all you people out there in media land .. herps arent all that bad

I actually saw a documentary about this on the Discovery Channel Sunday night. It was really cool

Must've missed that one Bambi. It would have been neat to watch.

I've also read that work is also being done with snake venom for various human illnesses. It's all very interesting.

Wow, cool. Maybe the general snake-fearing public will now look at these animals with a bit more respect and les fear and hatred.

I just wishd they advertised it more - would be great for conservation....I think. (just like I wish it were more known how much of our medicines come from the rainforests-making it very important for us to save them....the cure for cancer, aids, etc could be there!)
