Today, Cobra venom is being studied for treating various forms of pain, cancers, autoimmune and neurological disorders. Researchers have proven that cobra venom contains constituents that control pain and inflammation. Researchers in China are examining the possibility that cobra venom can be used to treat drug addiction. The National Cancer Institute in Italy has participated in Chinese clinical trials to assess the efficacy of Cobra toxins in controlling post operative pain and moderate to severe cancer pain. More recently Cobra toxin has been reported to kill mesothelioma and lung cancer cells, 75 years after the first reports in the 1933 issue of the medical journal Lancet.
Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.
