"make them feel excruciating pain"
Venom from spiders and other creatures help scientists by revealing nerve pathways in humans.
How can spider toxins help?
Prof. King notes that spider venom is useful for investigating the processes of pain signaling in humans."Spiders make toxins to kill prey and defend themselves against predators, and the most effective way to defend against a predator is to make them feel excruciating pain," he says.
Because of this, he explains, we can expect spider venom to be full of molecules that stimulate the pain-sensing nerves in the body.
Scientists can use this information to find new pain pathways, by observing which nerves are activated when they come into contact with the venom.
********************************************************************************
This makes we wonder who they subject to the excruciating pain? Starving Students?
Let's hope the terrorists don't find the formula for spider venom and manage to mass produce it...
On the other hand, the sadomasochist community would welcome a new form of pain delivery. I'm guessing.
