Chacur reported in March "Pain" that pit viper bites cause severe pain which is NOT relieved by the antivenin. It IS relieved by interleukin 10, about which we have seen postings here, and also relieved by blockers of nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous neurotransmitter (discovers of NO function won Nobel prize). Nitric oxide is increased with Viagra use. This indicates that pain may increase with Viagra or any increase in nitric oxide (NO). Anyone here found that to be true?
