Description
Belladonna, curare, snake venom-all are lethal, yet all may be used therapeutically. This program explores the fine line between harming and healing with an overview of poisons that are part of medical treatment. Beginning with Victorian-era experiments in painless surgery and the Arsenic Act of 1851, which made it harder for Londoners to murder each other but also paved the way for licensing of pharmacists, through to current poison derivatives that smooth wrinkles, the video provides a history of toxic cures as well as a look ahead at their potential use in new forms of personalized medicine.
