I used to work for a BL-4 lab in Campbell in the early 1990’s. We made Diptheria toxin, tetanus toxin, Bordetella Pertussis, Bacillis Anthrasis, Botulinum Toxin A, B & D, etc. We were even arming some of these bacterial toxins with scorpion venom toxin genes. And who were we selling it to? Ft Deitrick, MD!

Interesting! What did the scorpion venom do?
Sounds like the perfect ingredient for a new superhero🐸
They were trying to make the toxins more deadly.
