Venom make me feel...good?

So after Monday's discussion on the Bee sting article, I got curious and looked into other articles where animal venom actually reduced inflammation. This was an odd concept for me since I always pictured animal bites as being huge inflamed gashing wound. But as I thought about it a little more, I guess an animal who's venom decreased inflammation would be more "deadly" since it would have the same potency while still avoiding the "victims" natural immune response.

Anyway, this is the article that I found:

Also, this article on cobra venom reducing arthritis was cool too:
