Radioactive scorpion venom!
Such a provactive subject that I couldn’t resist mentioning it. Radioactive scorpion venom could work as a unusual new cancer therapy. For brain cancer.
OK, the venim isn’t radioactive when it is taken out of the scorpion. Lab techs add the radioactive part chemically. But the venom targets certain cells in the brain, and carries along the radiation with it. This results in very targeted radiation therapy for certain cells, in this case cancer cells. Phase II testing shows it is safe and at least somewhat effective.
