It's #ToxinTuesday so be sure to check out some of the great articles about toxins! “Beyond Primary Sequence”—Proteomic Data Reveal Complex Toxins in #Cnidarian #Venoms" from @ajjb80 et al. https://t.co/Xs4VMesWG1
Toxins can be turned into drugs. The 2004 FDA approved Prialt, comes from the venom of Conus magus and treats chronic pain by blocking calcium channels in nerve cells. Bad Ass! #ToxinTuesday @scimaven @aida_verdes @chipotlau
What is the difference between poison, toxins, and venom?
Venoms work through the bloodstream- injected. Poisons work through the digestive track- eaten or inhaled. Toxins are just the chemicals that make up your poisons and venoms
