Hopefully this stimulates further research into cocodriles' blood. They already have something similar to what DARPA is looking for, if I recall correctly.


Looks like it's a combination of strong antimicrobial peptides and good antibodies. (They recently figured out a defensin responsible for the fungus resistance). Not sure about if you can just pop these AMPs into human blood and how long the trial process will be though.
