True story:
In the mid-2000s, scientists discovered that crocodilian blood contains powerful antimicrobial peptides and proteins that help explain why these reptiles almost never get sick despite losing legs and living in bacteria-infested waters.
What's more…
Researchers found that crocodile serum could successfully neutralise HIV-1 in a test tube in ways human blood just couldn't.
Of course, the press leapt onto this story like flies on you-know-what, thus triggering a wave of sensationalist headlines about this "miracle cure."
But here's the thing:
While these findings did lead to supplemental treatments in places like Thailand (a hotbed for HIV back in the 80s and 90s) where patients reported improved energy and immune health…
No human has actually ever been cured by crocodile blood.
Anti-climactic, I know (pun intended), BUT…
These biological properties are still being studied to develop new synthetic antibiotics rather than a direct cure for the virus.
So could crocodiles one day hold the cure to this virus?
Maybe.
You want to hear an even crazier solution?
WRAP UP!
It ain't sexy, but it’s sure got "teeth" (I can't help myself today).
Perhaps I'm finally becoming responsible with age and fatherhood. Or maybe I'm just a stiff who never indulged in such promiscuity.
Either way, it might go some way in explaining why — in a world of "spicy" romantasy — The Divided Region is cleaner than a cup of mountain water.
But don't be fooled.
What it lacks in erotic scenes, it sure makes up for in action, misadventure, and an unruly cast of characters who aren't shy of saying (and doing) crazy sh*t.
