Yellow Israeli scorpion venom may be used to treat brain cancer

That deadly scorpion can cure you of your brain cancer! Scorpion venom loaded with radioactive material can do a great job in the field of medical science, once the test is successful, as the testing is only in its early phase.

The yellow Israeli scorpion has a protein in its venom, which can bind preferentially to the glioma cells. Scientists have created a synthetic version of it, so that it does not by itself kill a patient.

About 17,000 residents in the U.S. suffer from high-grade gliomas. Glioma is a form of brain cancer that is usually fatal. And if the treatment works, the patient would simply be injected with a potion of the venom in his bloodstream.
