Skylar scribbled down some of the various notes and things that Healer Reed had mentioned in his responses to the class ...healing.... restorative ... properties ... antidote... Her quill stopped though when his dialect changed the fifth year just stared a moment. They were learning about poisons? Or rather, antidotes to poisons? Jotting down the information on the board, she listened as her peers pretty much covered like everything she was going to say.
Almost.
"Poisons by themselves are toxic, yes, causing serious illness or death. But things that would normally make humans or animals susceptible to illness do also have the advantage of being immunity boosters as well. Take for instance, muggle vaccinations. They often use a live strand of the actual virus, a virus known to cause serious illness or death, and will inject it into the body so that the body can produce antibodies and be able to fight off infection." Oops, she'd done a bit of light reading over the summer in regards to healing? She needed to determine if she really wanted to pursue creature healing, so in Skylar fashion, she researched. "Snake venom is another example of a poison that in itself is deadly, but has proven health benefits." Take that, Head Girl Valentine. "It's useful in that while it's mixture might immobilize, it can also effect blood coagulation and blood pressure regulation, creating powerful tools to combat pain and cancer."
As for what made an uncommon poison, uncommon. "By uncommon, I would think it would refer to the lack of a typical reason for a poison. Poisons, at first thought, would be considered harmful, but when you break it apart, it doesn't have to be, due to the beneficial sides of poisons."
