...Herpetologist Giuseppe Puorto said that he worries about people traveling around the country trying to be cured by the viper’s venom.

"We're wary about people going out to hunt the jararacussu around Brazil, thinking they're going to save the world. ... That's not it!" Puorto told Reuters. "It's not the venom itself that will cure the coronavirus."

Traveling preacher goes around back country churches doing little preaching, making a couple of bucks in the collection plate. After the sermon they ask him to stay for supper and he accepts.
