Hi @malay11 , I studied in my bachelor's degree thesis in biology the effect of a toxin from scorpion venom's, specifically Tityus discrepans, and found that has anticancer effect, as well as others activist like antibacterial, antifungal and differents kinds of effects in potassium and calcium channels. Unfortunately the process of develop a drug is so slow and complicate (because all the tests that it has to approve for human consume) that mostly we have a lot of information but not come true
Regards, and thanks for your post
