Yeah Mick, alot of people hate snakes. Respect them and they'll do the same. They only have one way to defend themselves......pretty bad a## way at that....

Believe it or not, the venom of certain cobras, including the cape cobra, and venom from the krait and mamba families, is probably where the cure to Parkinson's disease will come from. They are such powerful neurotoxins that biologists and such are using that venom now to try to do away with what Ali is afflicted with.

Also, certain Central and South American vipers' venom is already being used to help treat certain cancers. Just one more nerdy fact from your geeky member LEGION So those same venoms people fear will one day be integral to curing or helping to cure diseases.
