Alternative media, activists, and others are now promoting nicotine gum, patches, e-cigs, and cigarettes as a cure to diseases. Why and how? Because nicotine is supposed to inhibit the binding of proteins from snake venom to receptors in your brain. Water filters are being touted as another solution to the venom, even though not a single of the three largest water filter companies produce in lab reports indications that snake venom is removed by their water filters. Even if nicotine and water filters did what is now a viral meme and trend on social media, there is no person in their right mind who can honestly believe smoking is good for you or that you should only purify your water because of some viral interview that took data out of context. Besides, tobacco is a nightshade, and nicotine can be found in tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers, as can other 'cures', like vitamin-c and zinc, be found in plant-based foods rather than expensive supplements. One referenced study referred to "toxin-like peptides" that were "almost identical to toxic components of venoms from animals." The study concluded that they "could potentially be connected to..." a specific disease. But "toxin-like" and "almost identical" are not confirmatory when the conclusion is "could potentially." The snake venom is just oil.
