Very interesting Zing. Thanks for sharing.

I cannot find any information on exactly what Anascorp is. Can anyone else? I would like to find the article in which the first study of the drug was published.

It was created by a Mexican company Instituto Bioclon. Seems very effective, although I am interested in finding out more about this Centruroides specific antivenin.

Thanks again for sharing Zing,

Zach

Google scholar.

Pubmed has nothing under that name "Anascorp".

"The FDA has announced the approval of Anascorp, the first drug designed to specifically treat and counteract the venomous stings of scorpions."
