"The Black Maaaaammmmbbbaaaaaaa!!!"
Wish I had one while watching Biden tonight.
Interestingly (or not), about 15 years back or so they found something similar with, of all things, the venom of the cone snail. They found it not only had powerful painkilling capabilities, but that it could lower the tolerance threshold for opiates in terminal cancer patients’ developing a resistance to painkillers’ ability to manage their pain.
You go first.......

The venom of a black mamba can kill a human in four hours, if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite to the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes. Now, you should listen to this, ‘cause this concerns you. The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan. You know, I’ve always liked that word... “gargantuan”... so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. If not treated quickly with antivenom, 10 to 15 milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the black mamba can deliver as much as 100 to 400 milligrams of venom from a single bite.
I had one nearly zip between my legs once in Cameroon many years ago.
We were pushing a pickup truck out of a giant hardened elephant footprint and I leaped into the back of the truck in the nick of time. They are FAST. Like greased lightning.
That lack of pain is called death.
I have been using cobroxin for knee pain and it does help.
The dead feel no pain....
Aren’t you a snake fanatic?
A little known fact about Mambas; they’re avid soccer fans.
