Just this February, Dr. Fry and his colleagues filed a patent for a molecule found in the venom of the inland taipan that may help treat congestive heart failure.
The Hong Kong-based retailing taipan disagreed so much that he has made an offer of 250p a share to take the company back into private hands.
For example, Australian snakes such as the taipan and the brown snake use two active enzymes in their venom that are also present in human blood: factor X and factor V.
Even Australia's most dangerous snake, the taipan , carries enough venom to kill 30 adults, but its bite is not actually very painful, and it can take several hours for an untreated victim to die.
In a single strike, a taipan can inject 60 mg of venom - enough to quickly paralyse a small marsupial but also more than enough to wipe out several human adults.
