Scorpion venom as a medicine?

Scorpion Venom as a medicine?

Summary- The benefits of scorpion venom are very minimal. The benefits can include temporarily soothing rheumatoid arthritis. It can also benefit inflammatory bowel diseases that can cause pain. The Poison can also treat or sooth multiple sclerosis which can also be helpful.


Critique- I think that everybody looks at scorpions as a scary or horrible creature but they are actually cool looking. I did not think that a type of poison could be used as a medicine. It kind of reminds me of a anti venom.


Impact- Making a poison into good things is a great idea but there are normally side effects with it though.
