Here is an interesting fact about epilepsy: did you know that animal venom is used as an anticonvulsant for epilepsy? It's true! Certain species of plants, spiders, scorpions, bees, wasps, and even snails can help relieve the profession of epileptic seizures in certain patients. Of course, it is highly recommended to discuss the use of certain venoms with your neurologist and/or epileptologist before beginning the course of treatment.
