This Man Has Been Placing Scorpion On His Body To Sting Him For The Past Decade, Says It Wards Off Rheumatism Pain

A 78-year-old Cuban farmer, Pepe Casanas, has been hunting down a scorpion to sting himself with once a month for the past decade, claiming the venom wards off his rheumatism pains.
Casanas seems not to be alone in his belief that the blue scorpion venom wards off rheumatism pains. His natural remedy is no longer seen as very unusual in Cuba where researchers have backed the therapy.

Reuters report’s that researchers in Cuba have found that the venom of the blue scorpion, whose scientific name is Rhopalurus junceus, endemic to the Caribbean island, appears to have anti-inflammatory and pain relief properties, and may be able to delay tumor growth in some cancer patients.
