The idea for the drug came from a snail called the Conus magus that lives in the South Pacific, which paralyzes its victims with venom after capturing them, the company said. Researchers set out learning how to develop a drug based on this venom and eventually copied the amino acid sequence.
Wow, I can just see it now:
Thousands of people traveling to the South Pacific in search of all the Conus magus snails they can catch.
