Brazilian wandering spider venom (Phonutria nigriventel) can cause penile necrosis, or death of penile tissue, and may require amputation in some cases.
This is a terrifying poison that’s best avoided, but research shows that in small doses, this poison may contain clues to your next Viagra.
The large amounts of venom released by spiders in nature cause erections in mammals, which are extremely painful and last far too long for their intended purpose. These abnormally elongated bones are technically known as: priapismand its poison adds nausea and abdominal pain.
P. Nigriventel teeth Also known as It is a banana spider because it is often found on banana leaves. The body length of the arachnid can grow up to 5 centimeters, and when the legs are spread, it can grow up to three times more. It is one of the most poisonous spiders in existence.
Nevertheless, scientists at Brazil’s Federal University of Minas Gerais have managed to develop a synthetic version of the molecule found in the venom that causes erections. It’s called BZ371A, and it’s now been successfully tested in mice and rats, causing erections when placed in a gel and spread between the animals’ groins.
The reason for this effect is P. Nigriventel Poison (and BZ371A) nitric oxide Blood flow to the reproductive organs is increased in the body. Viagra has a similar effect, with the release of nitric oxide making the penis more sensitive.
Even better, the treatment was also effective in older rats and rats with conditions such as high blood pressure. DiabetesThis approach suggests that it may also work for people who cannot take Viagra for the same reasons.
Viagra and another anti-impotence drug called cialis Although it has proven to be very effective for many people, it is not effective for about 30 percent of men. There is also a risk of lowering blood pressure when used with nitrates, which are often prescribed to treat chest pain and some people use recreationally. During sex. It can also cause complications for people with serious heart or liver problems.
Pilot testing on men and women has already been conducted and shows that this gel is safe for people to use, but more thorough testing is needed to determine if this is a genuine Viagra replacement. Requires comprehensive and comprehensive testing.
Further clinical trials are planned and the treatment will be tested in men with the following symptoms: erectile dysfunction. In the future, researchers hope that the drug may also be effective against sexual dysfunction in women.
The team behind this research is keen to point out the value of maintaining biodiversity in the animal kingdom. This means that scientists have many natural chemicals and treatments to discover, even potentially toxic venoms.
