Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This release from NOVA offers an exciting documentary about the phenomenon of venom - naturally occurring poisons found in certain varieties of plants and animals in the natural world, used usually for defense. Powerful and potentially deadly, venom can give a spider the ability to kill a creature hundred times its size, but may also offer scientists the secret to treating and curing diseases like diabetes and stroke.
