NATURE | The Venom Cure | Over in a Flash | PBS

To kill its prey, a coneshell extends a proboscis armed with a harpoonlike tip that injects a deadly venom. Tune in on Sunday, June 24 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings), when the NATURE series presents The Venom Cure. The Venom Cure illustrates how some of the animals we fear most may one day soon be helping us solve or alleviate a wide range of life-threatening medical problems.
