Jimmy ClarkHOST
I didn't know if the...
Jimmy ClarkHOST
Venom for, anti-venom for rattlesnakes and cottonmouths.
Jimmy ClarkHOST
I don't think they're the same, but I could be wrong.
Jimmy ClarkHOST
Somebody look that up for me while I'm talking about this.
James StewartHOST
Which, by the way, we very much advise against, obviously.
James StewartHOST
The Wasp's Venom is a carefully tailored cocktail containing GABA, taurine, and beta-alanine.
James StewartHOST
GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
James StewartHOST
Put simply, it helps slow brain activity.
CarrieHOST
They can grab an insect, hold it tight, and even crush it.
CarrieHOST
Now, emperor scorpions also have a stinger at the end of their tail, and that stinger can inject venom.
CarrieHOST
Venom is a special mixture of chemicals that some animals use to catch prey or protect themselves.
CarrieHOST
And scorpion venom can cause pain, and it can interfere with how the other animal's nerves or muscles work.
CarrieHOST
But here's something wild.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
They've gone to someone's house where there's a cat and they can tell us how they've needed to treat themselves or how they feel.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
Venom, we really look at this more of a risk severity, right? We're not stinging, challenging people, but we look at how severe their original reaction was.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
We see whether their tryptase is high or do they have, you know, indolent systemic mastocytosis.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
What venom is it? Is it honeybee, right, versus everything else? Are you a landscape architect and outside all the time? And then how did you...

Mariam HannaHOST
Why is this question? I know I'm bringing you back to this, but I want to push you a little bit on this one.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
I just think that there's no surrogate for food, right? If we had an ideal biomarker that would tell you the threshold, the severity, how you would do regardless of therapy, right? Air allergens rarely kill people.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
And the symptoms that patients tell us about, like, well, that's good enough, we think, right? Venom, if you really want to test it, you just wait until they get stung again and see how it goes, right? We're not great at identifying the allergens or the venoms.
Nicole ChaseGUEST
But at the same time, like, okay, people do sting challenges and whatnot.
Wes LarsonHOST
This is like one of our mantras.
Wes LarsonHOST
Venom is injected.
Wes LarsonHOST
Poison is ingested.
Wes LarsonHOST
And this is venom.
IsaacHOST
Has he ever mentioned
DerekHOST
Venom
IsaacHOST
before? No.
IsaacHOST
This is the first and only time it's been brought up.
IsaacHOST
Yeah.
IsaacHOST
Like,
speaker_3UNKNOWN
die, Venom.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
The best two target a toxin from a Mexican scorpion.
speaker_0HOST
Anthropic has not shown that the binders neutralize Venom, so it does not claim an anti-Venom.
speaker_0HOST
It is releasing all 211 designs and their data.
speaker_0HOST
OpenAI's COBOL migration test rewrites programs into C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, or Rust and requires byte-for-byte identical output.
MelissaHOST
I know that now.
AubreyHOST
Venomous caterpillars evolved from moths.
AubreyHOST
Not all caterpillars are venomous, but the ones that are have evolved some seriously clever defenses.
AubreyHOST
Some of the main reasons are predator protection, camouflage, and competition.
AubreyHOST
Some venomous caterpillars look harmless and fluffy, like a flannel moth caterpillar, while others advertise dangers with their bright colors.
AubreyHOST
Venom helps caterpillars survive long enough to reach adulthood in environments where many species are fighting for the same leaves.
AubreyHOST
Venomous caterpillars don't bite.
AubreyHOST
Their hair or their spines are connected to tiny venom glands.
Suzy HotteGUEST
Yeah, I mean, they will...
Suzy HotteGUEST
Venom, like the venom, when they bite you, that's their poison.
Suzy HotteGUEST
Their poison runs through their blood.
Suzy HotteGUEST
So they're very dangerous.
Kate SandersGUEST
Well, all snakes are fantastic swimmers.
Kate SandersGUEST
Venom provides a really valuable tool for subduing prey, and particularly prey that's concealed in crevices or burrows, which a lot of sea snakes specialize on.
Kurt KrispynHOST
In terms of like, is it 10 million years ago? That's relatively soon.
Kurt KrispynHOST
Not long ago.
