πŸ§ͺ Why are omega-3 and omega-6 essential?

They’re fats our body can’t make but needs for brain, heart, and cells. Omega-3 has its first double bond at the 3rd carbon, omega-6 at the 6th. Plants give short omega-3 (ALA), fish and algae give long, active ones (EPA, DHA).

Researchers were able to immunize cammelids to generate an antivenom effective against multiple highly poisonous snake venoms.
Nanobodies are better able to penetrate tissues and organs than antibodies, and showed less side effects than traditional antivenom.
