Who can somebody sell it to? Abi is just a normal value attached which cannot amount to any real value?

thank God he didn't.

be on the lookout op, that thing looks dangerous.

I don't want to imagine a human being stung by that thing.
oooach

But, each venom droplet costs about $130, which is around #70,000 I believe. At least, person fit use the 70k take hold body lol

You will need to have a Scorpion farm to get a gallon which is about 4liters...

Congrats in advance

The scorpion liquid are so minute in quantity

You'll not only need a scorpion farm, You'll need well trained personnel to drain the scorpion liquid without causing harm to the creature.

It's a mega biz with so much funding, not for the faint hearted

Verdict, Steer clear!!!

And it'll take you about 10 years and 50million scorpions to gather a gallon.
Good luck trying...

5. Conclusions
The large diversity of scorpion venom components has fueled a wide range of studies on these molecules, from toxicology to antivenom development and therapeutic applications. In particular, therapeutic applications of scorpion venom compounds have attracted a lot of attention due to the urgent need for either finding or improving treatments against a broad spectrum of diseases. The emergence and spread of superbugs (AMR microorganisms) represent an increasingly serious threat to global public health, which is projected to get much worse in the years ahead. Therefore, the exploration of the utility of novel bioactive molecules, scaffolds, and mechanisms of action represents a potentially powerful approach to develop new antimicrobial therapeutics and diagnostic tools for current and future diseases. Dozens of scorpion-derived bioactive molecules have been shown to possess promising pharmacological properties, of which around 100 have been mentioned in this review. These pharmacological properties of scorpion-derived bioactive molecules include antimicrobial, immunosuppressive, bradykinin-potentiating, analgesic, and anticancer effects among others. In addition to chlorotoxin, which has already entered clinical trials, the CPP-Ts peptide (which is a potential intranuclear delivery tool for targeting cancer cells) is likely to be a molecule receiving significant scientific interest in the future. However, before venom-derived biotherapeutics can be introduced to the market, a number of technological issues must be overcome, including obtaining access to material (venoms and toxins), characterizing isolated venom components, establishing manufacturing approaches for novel compounds, and reducing the potential propensity to cause adverse effects, especially for long-term therapy. Nevertheless, the scientific literature reviewed here shows several examples of promising scorpion venom-derived proteins and peptides that may be used as leads for the development of new biotherapeutics. Thus, if the data observed in vitro and in preclinical models translates well to the clinical setting, there may indeed be great promise in exploiting the benefits of scorpion toxins.

big lie, they attack and stings without sensing any danger, just like soldier ants does without remorse.
