DYK lisinopril derived from the venom of a pit viper, that’s why it thins the blood. But don’t worry there are also many man-made rx except that most (all?) are synthesizing the same venom.
I’m not worried about the poor pit vipers (hahahahah) or blood thinners. I don’t have that many more years left anyway. It’s all good...
I already didn’t like snakes. They try to eat my frogs. And the frogs eat the neighborhood bugs. And lisinopril gave me a sore back. So now I really don’t like snakes. Smacked one in the head just yesterday. What me worry fer sure? No freeking snakes OR lisinopril.
The popular medicine Botox is taken from the deadly poison botulinum neurotoxin. Thousands of people take it every day. Besides its cosmetic usefulness, it serves other medical therapies. For example, my son has cerebral palsy, not a terribly serious case but is causes muscle spasticity in his legs and feet. Botulinum helps to overcome that spasticity. He is a registered nurse with a lot of active responsibility.
Perhaps you would like to warn him that he is taking a deadly poison. Or perhaps we can just accept that God has provided all sorts of cures from thousands of natural sources.
