(16,820 posts)snake venom extract, with ivermectin. I need to find someone who can design a website so I can sell all of my little bottles for $20 apiece.

(9,965 posts)A rare "medical miracle" like this should match Big Pharma's pricing, "what the traffic will bear"! $800 - $1500 per dose, fade a % to the snake.

(8,584 posts)Snake handling tambourine beating Jesus nuts in Cawthorns district will either die from Covid or snake bites. Votes lost, but hospital beds. Occupied. Best case, they storm the Capital at Cawthorns command and get the pink mist. No beds occupied.

(1,364 posts)so why do the maggots need snake oil, ivermectin, hydrox.... or any other drug. It is just the flu?? Just take a few aspirins and a few days off from work - no big deal.

(1,506 posts)....HydroxyClorox, snake handlers, snake oil and snake oil salesmen and even tambourines. Well done, everyone. I'm going to suggest that we tell the anti-vax folks that if they can't find the right snake, a tablespoon of actual batshit can offer just as much protection.
