Fact of the Day More Information Mental Floss magazine reports that the giant Israeli scorpion's venom can eradicate glioma, a brain cancer.
The scorpion is yellow and preys on things like roaches [source]. The venom does virtually nothing to humans with contact. Apparently, glioma is extremely similar to the everlasting cockroach's thew which, like the cancer, ultimately succumbs to the scorpion's poison (Mental Floss). The study testing this as medication is still underway.
