Update: 2025-06-28
Description
Melanie Avalon and Scott Emmens explore the spine-tingling world of venom, poison, and the mind-blowing creatures that wield them. From jellyfish to snails to spiders that cause… erections that won't go away (yes, really), nature’s most dangerous designs also hold surprising medical marvels. Discover why rattlesnakes are losing their rattle, why spitting cobras aim for the eyes, and how some of the world’s deadliest animals are helping to treat diabetes, heart conditions, and even obesity. (Plus, how medical mishaps and venom-derived drugs collide in the FDA's halls.)
