Injecting Yourself with Killer Bacteria

The video explores the unique venom of the fangblenny fish, which contains proteins similar to those found in snake, snail, and scorpion venoms. This venom can lower blood pressure in predators, allowing the fangblenny to escape. The venom's potential as a painkiller is discussed. Additionally, the video examines the use of bacteria, specifically Delovibrio bacteriovirus (BV), as a novel antibiotic approach. BV targets Gram-negative bacteria and could be engineered for more efficient infection treatment.
