I wonder if anyone has experimented with spider venom
or other venom for nerve “awakening”

Good question! It seems like such an obvious line of inquiry now that we have this example where someone’s paralysis was perhaps mitigated by spider venom. But I don’t know if it would’ve been obvious before. It certainly would not have been obvious to me. But researchers in the field? I’ll wager they’ve been all over this possibility for some time. See also my comments in #57 above. I think it’s all very fascinating.
