  schema:description "Venom from the Cuban blue scorpion is sold as Escozul and a homeopathic version, Vidatox, with claims that it treats cancer. The manufacturer's research has never been published in a peer-reviewed journal, Cuba rejected Escozul in 2009 for lack of clinical data, and a man with lung cancer died after using a scorpion venom extract. A purified venom peptide is a separate product in proper trials."@en ;
