Spider venom could cure erectile dysfunction

By: Lucy Walker | Latest Health News | Thursday August 30 2012 16:26

 

Venom from the world's deadliest spider could cure erectile dysfunction within 20 minutes.

Scientists have discovered the Brazilian Wandering Spider's venom boosts performance by increasing the release of nitric oxide, a chemical that dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Brazilian scientists first became interested in the deadly spider's ability to boost sexual performance when victims of bites reported major improvements in their sex lives.
