Scientists create 'venomous' chilli sauce to mimic spider bite

SCIENTISTS have created a chilli sauce that mimics the bite of a venomous spider – and you can pick up a bottle for just £6.50.

Managing director and founder Steven Trim, 41, said: “It’s as best as we can manage without actually tasting the venom.Nobody has been foolish enough to try the venom“We focus on studying venoms and how they work in the biology for drug discovery and through this research we became aware that the Trinidad Chevron venom actually works on the same receptors as Capsicum.”Steven added: “It was about two years ago when we had that first light bulb moment.

“But we kept bringing it up when we bumped into each other over the year. We finally hit on the idea of doing a synthetic inspired sauce.”
