Snail Slime to Reduce Heavy Pains.

The slime produced by snails could become revolutionary in medicine. A study from the University of Queensland shows that snail slime is very soothing.

The snail slime is full of toxic peptides, which gives the snail the possibility to kill a prey. The snail slime was previously used to reduce pain, but had to be administered via an injection in the spine. The researchers from the University of Queensland, however, stabilized the peptides in such a way that they were capable of producing a pill.

According to the researchers, it could reduce extreme pains already at a very low dose. This could make for a revolution in treating painful conditions.
