STARFISH’S LIQUID
What scientists are finding really interesting is the sticky liquid which starfish
produce when they feel threatened more specifically the spiny starfish’s one
that can be found on the west coast of Scotland
This liquid keeps starfish clear, in fact, while most man-made structures are
placed in the water get caked ( tipo le alghe sulle boe) starfish manage to keep
their surface clear. This liquid contains properties which may be very useful in
treating certain kinds of inflammatory illnesses.
INFLAMMATIONS
THE IDEA
We could use this liquid as coat of our blood vessels in the same way that it
covers the starfish to prevent inflammations instead of medicines with
unwanted side effects.
