Black mamba venom is 'better painkiller' than morphine (treated, healing, effects)

[Brian.Pearson]

A painkiller as powerful as morphine, but without most of the side-effects, has been found in the deadly venom of the black mamba, say French scientists.

well I would suggest people go to northern Africa try to be like the late Steven Irwin and seek out to get bit on purpose by the worlds most venomous snake due to the fact that you may be in terrible pain.

Because of various factors, including the toxicity and high venom yield, the fact that untreated bites have a mortality rate of 100%, as well as aggressiveness, speed, agility, and size of black mamba, it is considered one of the world's deadliest and most aggressive snake species.

Well would not want to be those people that go collect them to milk their venom to make the anti-venom since a massive ticked of snake that can travel at speeds of 12-14MPH and because black mambas have been witnessed confronting, biting, and subsequently killing lions and other large predators, such as spotted hyenas and leopards, in defence of their territory, eggs, or when the predators stand between the snakes and their prey.

has no issue of confronting a giant African Lion and the Lion loses then you know what that is one snake that human should avoid and all I have to worry about is a Diamond back Rattle Snake bite which is tame to that mean a adult African Lion killing source for painkillers that won't be like to be netted and milked by parks and wildlife conservation officers or very happy after either.

At first blush, the only side effect I can think of is you die. When I get a change I'll read the article.
