I was just watching the show Wild Recon on Animal Planet, where the host finds animals and collects venom for medical research. Anyway, he was in the country Jordan, in the middle of the desert, and caught some species of monitor. He opens its mouth and collects the "venom" and says that it might be used to treat strokes.



I thought that only gila monsters, beaded lizards, and now komodo dragons are the only venomous lizards.



Oh and the show is still on as I type this, now he is in some other country and caught a Lace Monitor, and is collecting its "venom" also. Are these blatant lies!?
