VENOM Kill and cure?

摘要

Imagine yourself in a steamy, dark and noisy rainforest, straining to breathe. Your eyes sting and your clothes are sticky with sweat. Water, water everywhere, but leaving your body almost faster than you can replace it. Suddenly, a group of Indians appears from the gloom, running at a pace that would match any programme-trained, technology-assisted, nutrition-loaded athlete. However, their performance is fuelled only by the previous evening's application of monkey frog Phyllomedusa bicolor venom smeared on small, self-inflicted wounds or burns. What is even more remarkable is that this frog-skin mucus can give up to three days of undiminished stamina, appetite suppression and vastly enhanced sensory perception.
