Cobra, mamba, viper, rattlesnake and many other venomous snakes send chill down our spine. Needless to say, their venom is deadly when injected! Love them or hate them, they always get our attention. Even though their venom can be deadly and kill a human, it may also help save lives! We already know that venomous snakes go through a milking process in which their venom is collected in a container and freeze dried. Their venom is later injected into an animal in small amounts. The animal then produces antibody to neutralize this venom. This antibody is later collected and finally prepped to be used by humans as antivenom. But other than making antivenom, snake's venom can help us in many other ways. If you were a scientist, how would you use snake venom in a modern and creative way to bring change in this world! Please give us your brief answer by writing your comments below. The person who answers this riddle most creatively will get $3!  less

At first, I would like to divide this Venom into two-part. The first part will be very light and I would like to make it suitable for all. And I would apply it without any side effects in our daily food list. As a result, people can easily get a better immune system. and of course, it would be cheap so that everyone can get it easily.
    The other is, I will filter Venom and make it useable for the serious patients and apply it in the right dosage to prevent all serious diseases, including cancer.  less

But researcher's somehow found their way out to use snake venom for the welfare of the humankind. It's a massive win for us in the field of medical science and bio-chemistry. But if we look at the compounds of snake venom, we can find some very interesting compounds which can be used to make some revolutionary effect on some growing sectors of modern world. Researching on snake venom, you can see that there is an enzyme called Phospholipase A2 which is common in all species of snake. We all have heard about biodiesel. One of the obstacles of biodiesel production is overuse of food which can create food scarcity in the world. In this case, Phospholipase A2 can be very much useful for enzymatic biodiesel production. Moreover,another compound called Factor-X activator can be used in developing diagnostic kit for research. There are also some other compounds too. So in a word, my target is to get something out of snake venom not just...    less

    Morever snake venom Prevents blood from clotting which can be use in reducing heart attack . so we can made a injection by using venom. which can be used in heart to prevent attack.
