The important thing here is that the form of the molecule being produced by the platypus can be synthesized... and manufactured... It will just take some bit of lab time ... We won’t have to kill and harvest the venom from the strange little animal ..

"I do three pills a day and a weekly shot for mine. I'd mate with a platypus if I though it would help."
Me too...

They don’t have teeth. Venom is hard to deliver by gumming.

A spur on the hind legs. A modified claw, I’m sure.

Well, what the heck, everything else in Australia tries to kill you, why not platypus venom for a cure?

So, just get yourself a pet male platypus.
Problem solved.
