Scientists discover first-ever antidote to red tide toxin

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have identified a frog protein capable of neutralizing saxitoxin, a harmful neurotoxin. This unique protein functions as a molecular sponge, effectively binding to the toxin in the bloodstream. Experiments on mice demonstrated its ability to prevent and even reverse the effects of lethal poisoning, offering significant possibilities for combatting paralytic shellfish poisoning incidents globally.
