Research: Chemical agents can cause damage to humans either immediately, like mustard gas in World War I and II, or over a longer term, such as prolonged exposure to arsenic poison. However, for many years, researchers around the world have been working to develop therapeutic uses of such chemicals. Specific forms of both mustard gas and arsenic have useful anti-cancer properties. Find out about one naturally occurring chemical agent that can also be used as a medical treatment. Examples include: snake venom, cone snail toxin, ricin from castor oil plants and scorpion toxin. Identify the source organism of the chemical, how the chemical is used by the organism (e.g. defence or attack) and in general terms how it might be used as a medical treatment
