RE: Venomous Creatures #5 - Black Mamba
Za black mamba (in Megamind Voice). Well, lets just say I'll disappear if I'm ever unfortunate enough to encounter such snake in my endeavor.
But,...
studies have shown that the Black Mamba's venom is a more powerful painkiller than morphine. Morphine is a very powerful painkiller but it is has some side effects such as; vomiting, muscle twitching, headaches and it is very addictive. The Black Mamba's venom is also as powerful as morphine with no side-effects whatsoever, making it a better painkiller than morphine.
I think you should have discussed more on how the venom could be utilised as a painkiller as it is obvious, from your article, that a portion of this liquid in one's bloodstream is suicide!
Hahahahaha, oooo, don't you know researchers takes venom from deadly creatures, and studies them with the aim of producing a new drug or a better drug. For the Black Mamba, researchers have seen that it's venom contains a pain-killing proteins called mambalgins. I highly recommend you read this article to know more.
Thanks a lot @abumaryam for reading through and commenting, I appreciate it.
