Very interesting research find

"University of Newcastle researchers have found that applying an ointment commonly used to treat angina to snakebite wounds can improve survival times by up to 50%. The study found that applying the cream, which contains glyceryl trinitrate, slows the transport of venom toxins through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream."

I got addicted to owl cam last year- this is WAY better! Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, Carl.
Interesting article. Warrants further investigation....

Hmm I can see it now, brand name "Snake oil" or perhaps "DeSnake Oil".
Sorry, Just couldn't help myself (slow day) but it does sound very interesting.
