From the Telegraph: “A new cream claims to smooth wrinkles using a synthetic form of the poison produced by Asian temple viper snakes. The ?6 tubes of Lacura Wrinkle Stop contain a compound called Syn-Ake, which mimics the snake’s paralysing venom. It promises to block the nerve signals which cause facial muscles to contract and can lead to lines. Tests show that twice-daily application of the cream for four weeks may reduce the appearance of wrinkles by 52 per cent. ” This is interesting. Lots of drugs come from toxin, so there may be actual benefits from this. Dr. David J.
