The sooner the better. How long before we can have them?

Might come close to my raw slugs in creosote but hey I’ll try anything - as Denis Leary once said “I treat my body like a temple that’s why I leave my boots on the outside!”. A few years ago there was something about a Sea Snail whose venom was basically 1000% stronger than morphine and was non addictive.

Interesting article about RA, but then they go and illustrate it with a picture of a man holding his knee in pain and the caption ‘Arthritis can affect a lot of the older population’ - ho hum!! 🤦‍♀️

My first thought was to check the date and make sure it wasn’t April 1st 😂. It sounds very futuristic and I’m not sure what type of injection it requires but it sounds like it would need to be IV and if so, how is my heart going to feel with an ever increasing lump of sponge running through it? Doesn’t sound like it’s in trial yet, so we’re 20 years off at least (unless you apply to be part of the trial.
