Never heard about them? There are several uses of various animals in medicine. Many of them are just experiencing a renaissance after scientific examination of their effectiveness. Leeches produce an excellent anticoagulant, fly larvae can clean necrotic tissue from a wound without harming any living cells... A lot of things are still unknown or forgotten, but the nature has always had substances with some real potential. _________________ The dragon NEVER sleeps!
