Skin cream slows down snake venom


DEADLY snake-bite venom could be slowed on its way into the blood by a cream applied to the bite site, giving victims time to seek help.
Snake bites penetrate tissue, not blood vessels, so most of the toxins enter the blood via the lymphatic system. To slow this journey, Dirk van Helden (http://www.newcastle.edu.au/staff/research-profile/Dirk_vanHelden/) at the University of Newcastle at Callaghan, Australia, and colleagues applied nitric oxide cream - which stops the pumping of the lymphatic system - to mice injected with venom. The cream increased the time it took the venom to reach the blood supply from 65 to 96 minutes (Nature Medicine, DOI: 10.1038/nm.2382 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nm.2382)).
This would buy bite victims around 50 per cent more time to seek treatment, says van Helden.


most anti-aging or anti-wrinkle creams should consist of 'Nitric Oxide'.

any cream that would contain 'nitric oxide'.
