Animal Attraction
The latest addition to the ever-odder quest for youth? Worm poo. Yes, as in the excrement of squiggling crawlers. It's the star ingredient in Wrinkle Butter, a new skin cream that promises to fight aging and speed cell growth.
The New York Times recently reported on growing sales of luxury beauty products containing strange, animal-derived ingredients such as faux snake venom, real snail secretions (aka slime) and bee venom.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, celebrities are among the biggest fans of kooky, biologically active treatments. Gwyneth Paltrow is said to go for the bee-venom facial (supposedly it freezes muscles for a Botox-esque result), and Tom Cruise is apparently a fan of the bird-poop facial. The scientific jury is still out on whether these products deliver on their promises, but one thing is clear: The quest for beauty can get pretty ugly and, well, grody.

LMAO janie! People will try anything to be more youthful looking. Personally, I think there's a lot to be said for aging.

From reading the ingredients on posts,the idea then is,- if this should work externally then ideally this should work internally. An elixir of life would be a selling point although not sure if the ingredients once known is - going to go down well,- so to speak. Would you?

Venom could probably make your face swell....and the lines would disappear as your face puffed out.
A bit risky though...some people may be allergic and go into shock...and if you picked the wrong snake...it could kill you.
