The power of venom - and how it could one day save your life 

Summary 

I didn’t know that sea snails can use their venom to capture prey. 

The speaker explains that venom can kill or it can cure. She saw that the venom attacked fish’s cells communicate with each other. It paralyzes the fish, it can be used as chemical compounds, and it can clot with your blood. 

Her ideas are that it must lead to attacking cancer tumor cells. 1) The venom must treat pain without the addiction that is trouble for people. 2)

And also, the venom might treat high blood pressure and lower blood sugar as compounds. 3)

The study is still in the beginning and it’s told that 15 percent of all the animals on the planet are venomous. Thus we must be able to find more new ways to treat our diseases by using animals' venom. For continuing the study and living together on the planet, we have to save all animals. It will lead to saving our lives.
