Yeah I don't think the star trek writers are even trying to include the eventual inhumane ramp up of the miracle cure production either.
Some lab is probably chucking those lizards into a blender.
What am I looking at?
Horseshoe crab blood collection.
This isn't even the first lizard based medicine. There have been several different ones. Notably GLP-1s.
Gotta get that lizard neck
Anytime you hear a republican complain about spending research money on some seemingly silly thing remember this research. A lot of research sounds weird and pointless from the outside, but you don't know what it might build up to.
Lizard research is also how we got Ozempic.

They also complain about researching perfectly normal-sounding stuff and then turn around and want to fund something that sounds fucking stupid, just because it aligns with their bigotry.
Anything that eats insects is friend--lizards, birds, spiders, toddlers. All are friend.
China literally got a famine because they declared sparrows a pest! (well that's not the only reason, but it was a reason).
Lyme, no "s"
I think it's more sci-fi that there was this one guy who's blood was tapped for decades to prevent miscarriages all over the world (blood type incompatibilities between universal donor mothers and the fetuses they carried).
And yet, I bet that a lot of morons would rather go "extreme Paleo" and gnaw on a lizard rather than getting a little injection.
gnaw gnaw gnaw
Don't judge me. I hate needles and if eating a lizard will tip the scales in my favor, it's their own damned fault for being delicious, nutritious, and apparently immunicious. It's a word. I just made it up, though.
Eastern fence lizard
lives in California and has poison blood
You really expect me to believe this shit?
It says 'western fence lizard' though
Im being gaslit and gangstalked.
