Tx-Perkyness Posted July 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I wonder if its all scorpions or certain ones, I'm not a venom expert but I've always believed that not all venom works the same way unless peptide is in every poison sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoIverine Posted July 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Patent was bought by big pharma and put on the shelf???

No one ever hears anything about that either. Edited July 15, 2012 by Spid3rCyd3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
