The findings are simply that there are peptide compounds similiar to those found in more complex venom structures, but they are being found in places that we associate as common and harmless species. The thing is they are either 1) Very specialized, or 2) very weak that none of these new peptides found serve any immediate or even staggered risk to human life. Any kind of reaction could as well come from the bacteria found during a bite than any peptide that may get infected into the blood stream.

This started with the turn around concept that the Komodo Dragons were deadly due to bacteria growing in their mouths. This research was what got Dr. Fry going on the rest of the information if I am not mistaken. . . it was found that their saliva contained very complex, and very deadly peptides that were naturally occuring. This refuted previous understandings completely about an "infectious bite", and now is understood to be as venomous.

Consider, prior to this knowledge we only knew 2 lizard species to be venomous at all, both from the genus Heloderma - The Gila Monster, and Mexican Beaded Lizard.

As far as terminology goes are you talking about venom vs poison, or perhaps hemotoxic vs neurotoxic? or even more detailed like Contortrix peptide versus crotalid hemotoxins?

Good luck.
