Why didn’t they test it on themselves?
@Derek o keeffe: Because like most clinical trials this one was carried out on mice to gauge reactions/side effects..
Without such trials the average human life expectancy would still be somewhere between 35/55 and we wouldn’t have the vast majority of the current life saving Cancer and AIDS treatments to mention just two…
@Derek o keeffe: a better question is why they didn’t test it on you.
Cannabis works on pain as well oh thats right big pharmaceuticals cant profit off that though.Cannabis is one of the biggest break throughs in medicine but our media seem to ignore it.
Can you “milk” the fish for venom, package it and sell it to people? Asking for a friend.
‘The Fang Blennies’….weren’t they a pop group back in the 80′s?
Is the venom addictive like current opioids? If so what’s the big deal?
Stooooooory bud!!! Ya got any of them fishes the ones with da gear man for me girlfriend like it’s her beerday tomorra!! On tick of course bud scratcher end of the week bud… (over heard in pet shop in Dublin city centre )
What’s the point. Patients still can’t get the medicinal cannabis that could help them.
It’s not IF we lose the Great Barrier Reef it’s WHEN. Better stock up on tanks pumps and protein skimmers all of which will require a lot of fossil fuel generated electricity to run if we want to keep the blenny inter alia.
Mind it’s probably moot given the mindless approach of governments and society to date towards natural painkillers and cancer killing substances. If it actually delivers a useful result he blenny will probably be banned by law.
Do they feel pain themselves I wonder?
I foresee growth in aquarium stockist shops
Were the mice drugged or did they just drown?
Does this come in the form of fish fingers?
Big Bryan Fry experimenting with Small Blenny Fry. The outcome a numbing experience.
