Do you suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Rheumatoid Arthritis affects more than 1.5 million people in the US. It is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints. It can also make completing day to day tasks difficult for people with this disease. New research from Baylor College of Medicine suggests that venom from one of the world’s most dangerous scorpions could help treat Rheumatoid Arthritis. The Indian Red Scorpion produces a toxic venom that has the power to kill a person within 72 hours after being stung. However, according to the study, it also has Iberio toxin which targets and blocks a potassium channel that is key in the production of the disease.
