7 Life-Saving Medicines That Come From Deadly Animals

Great video! Captopril and Exenatide are the 2 on this list that have had the greatest impact on medical practice over the last 40 years, and they spawned much more targeted agents of their respective classes. Captopril initiated a hot debate (controversy) re: international research, it's an interesting story!

I have arthritis in my elbow that interfered with my life. One day, I leaned back in the grass and got a bee sting on the elbow. The pain went away completely about 2 days after the sting, and didn't bother me for 5 years. Then I caught a bee and intentionally stung my elbow, and again, the pain left for about 5 years. This has become something I need to do every 5 years, but bees are getting harder and harder to find. But I feel that this should be studied, and I'm starting to develop arthritis in my hand, so I need to find more bees. Sounds crazy, I know, but it really works!

[@orchdork775]

You can keep your own bees by maintaining a hive, like bee keepers do, though that would take a lot of work. Also, I'm pretty sure doctors use bee venom in medicine, so you could potentially just get a shot at the doctor. Easiest option might just be to plant a mini garden with flowers that bees like so you have access whenever you need.

[@myagrimm4719]

If you live in the Eastern US (east of Missouri), bee balm is a native and easy to grow plant that is super attractive to bees 🙂 If you live in its native range it's basically 0 maintenance since that's where it grows naturally (at least that has been my experience). Bee balm is great for bees and many Native American groups have and still use it in multiple medicinal applications - it contains thymol which is the main active ingredient in modern mouthwashes.

Botox is also used sometimes in Cerebral Palsy which is really cool. I know someone who got the injections as a kid to be able to run. It loosened the muscles enough for him to learn how and now he goes for daily runs as an adult.

[@ArizonaJewell]

Melarsoprol is also a pretty interesting one (although it wasn’t developed from animal toxin per se). It was developed from Arsenic as a treatment for late-stage African sleeping sickness. It is given as an IV, which is extremely painful to receive, and it kills 5-10% of the people who receive it. It also contains propylene glycol, a chemical used in certain kinds of antifreeze. Because of the propylene glycol, it actually needs to be stored in glass syringes because it will legitimately melt plastic ones. For a long time though, it was the only available treatment for late stage African sleeping sickness. It has saved a lot of lives, albeit receiving it is seemingly absolutely horrendous to experience.

The problem with missing out on the benefits of species that we drive to extinction is that practically nobody will notice that we are missing out on those benefits. As a result, it's hard to get people to see the problem with driving species to extinction. They simply ask "What has that species ever done for us?". Hopefully, this video will help some of those people see the error in their ways. Thanks, SciShow!

I receive Botox injections in my left arm and left leg every 3-4 months to lower the levels of spasticity (also known as hypertonia) in my muscles.

My ex gf has MS. This one toxin to control immune response seems to be a real option. Something that might be more specific and therefore have less side effects. I hope they can make this work and of course hopefully develop a cure to this and other auto immune disorders. So while nature seems to have given us MS, it might also be the source of a treatment. As the saying goes, the dose makes the poison

[@macbuff81]

@MrSlave00 interesting comment. Yes, I didn't do right by her hence the ex part. However, she was a wonderful person and I do hope her MS will not progress to the point where she will be in pain. Sadly, most MS does progress so I do hope she will be witness to a cure to this condition. Such a cure would likely also be based on research which could lead to an effective treatment for conditions like ALS

[@andrewgoldin6905]

Big pharma rarely develops cures. They make more money treating stuff. The cure would be more likely to exist in natural form and not require any scientific development. Pharma would just patent a specific peptide and go with the business model that profits the most. Addictive substances are especially lucrative.

As a chemist, I got a hard one on Cantharidin. It's surprisingly simple for a biological molecule, could be probably synthesised with common lab chemicals in 3 steps and is more deadly than prussic acid... Even most nerve "gases" would be more complicated to produce (difficulty increasing from Sarin over VX to Novichok).

[@LambentLark]

To the students in Mrs. Willard's 6th grade Science class, thank you for sponsoring this video. This is really fascinating information. I appreciate your efforts to share it with me So let me return the favor and give you something I have found valuable. Often the smartest answer is, "I don't know." Followed by, "lets see if we can figure it out." Don't be afraid to keep asking a question till you find an answer that makes sense to you. Be specific. "How does "x" make "y" function?" I use this piece of info daily, if not hourly. I work for an engineering firm. I back-check the drawing packages the Engineers, Designers, and Drafters create to make or build things. I go through all the drawings to confirm all of the measurements, materials, and layouts needed to build the project are included and acurate. I also make sure the info in the plan drawings are the same as the corresponding elevations and sections. It's my job to ensure the people building that project will have all the data needed to do it. If something doesn't make sense to me, it won't make sense to the person building it. Thing is, if they find it during construction, it could cause delays, changes or shut down a job and be expensive. Me saying, "this doesn't make sense to me." "Why is it like that?" Save hundreds, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of dollars for my company's clients. I didn't know this job existed when I was in 6th grade. Honestly, when I was 12, I didn't believe I would ever be good at anything. I struggled to understand stuff. Mainly because I was afraid my questions were stupid. I didn't want to be humiliated. So instead of learning the answers, I remained ignorant. I found a teacher that forced me to ask questions. He would never give you enough information to figure something out, unless you asked a couple questions. Finding the answers is what made me become good at something. Good at a lot of something's. Doing something well, is one of the best feelings you will ever have. May your lives be full of that kind of success.

Study of animal and plant venom is fascinating in drug research. Even if the venom itself is not useful, many times its method of action (or the way it works in the body) can lead to whole new classes of drugs that work in ways never even imaged a few years ago. At the same time we learn new things about how body does things like react to pain or cause neurological disorders, when we study how the venom's/toxins interact with the body.
