Theresa, I have heard that generally the tent marked cones have the more
virlunt poisons. Had a University prof. give a talk on the poisons of cones.
They are a combination of different protiens that can be made in a lab. Some
can be benefical in the medical field.
Kind regards,
Sid Sneidar, HMS Director
