I discovered CS as a GREAT thing to keep in fish tanks! Turns out, someone else discovered this before me.. Now there are a couple of companies selling CS for Fish Tanks.

A question for the list which I am fairly sure has not been covered , at least for a while. What would the effect be of putting cs in a batch of sea water. ? And if there were fish , shrimp etc in the sea water , what effect would it have on them? Any ideas much appreciated Richard

Hey Ode! Just catching up on email, and I read yours. I don't always understand your posts, and maybe I'm not understanding your question here correctly -- but if I am, then the answer is yes. My chiropractor routinely alters the chemistry of venom with electricity. He has an electro-stim machine, which uses self-adhesive pads attached to wires attached to the machine -- through which electricity is conveyed to whatever spot on your body. Typically, this machine is used to deep-stimulte muscles -- such as back muscles -- to get them to release from spasms. But he also uses this machine on bites -- snake, brown recluse, tick, bee or wasp stings, etc. -- and it neutralizes the proteins/toxins of the venoms. It works so well on tick bites, that I have begun to use my Godzilla to self-treat tick bites successfully. Think I'd still head for him if I got a brown recluse bite, though! MA

Next question: Can venom be altered by altering the chemistry of the blood with an electrical current?
I'd say likely so.
Note that most "itch sticks" have ammonium as the base.. a caustic substance.
"Pee on jelly fish stings"..ammonium again.
Ammonium Hydroxide...Sodium Hydroxide.  Alkaline.
