The fish has venom like heroin that makes enemies faint

The colorful Meiacanthus fang blenny in the Pacific has a small body but possesses venom-like bites like heroin to attack enemies.

In a study published on March 30 in Current Biology, researchers at the Australian Academy of Sciences identified fishes like fang blenny of the Meiacanthus that can transmit the same amount of venom as heroin to enemies, according to Live Science.

Fish blang blenny , also known as fish blenny teeth , is famous for its ability to chase enemies with venom. Scientists observed fish fang blenny was swallowed by a larger fish. The predator then hit the small fish's venom, swayed and had to spit out the blenny.

Fish sting fang blenny works like morphine or heroin.

The fang blenny of the Meiacanthus has small fangs connected to special routes that contain toxins. When analyzing the venom samples taken from these fish's fangs, the team found a chemical compound filled with the chain of opioid amino acids.

Unlike the painful venom in many other fishes, the sting of fang blenny acts like morphine or heroin, affecting the ability of predators to coordinate their movements, making them unable to swim normally and for allow this small fish to escape.

This is a compound only available in blenny fish. According to scientists, the compound with the pain-suppressing properties of this fish's venom can be used to develop a completely new super painkiller.
