Good post! As one who has treatable high blood pressure (currently under control) I’ve read about the BP drugs that are derived from or inspired by snake venom. I take an ACE inhibitor so I give thanks to the critters and scientists who’ve made it possible. Otherwise I’d be dead by now. When I was diagnosed in 2009 I was clocked at 205/135 resting. My doc told me I was a walking stroke. These days I’m controlled down to 140/90 which has been my BP since I was 25. Never have been the 120/80 so-called normal. Let’s hear it for the snakes! <3
