Toxicity and Resistance
Snakes have evolved mutations in their sodium channels that allow them to resist tetrodotoxin, but this adaptation comes with a trade-off in mobility. Interestingly, rough-skinned newts that are more toxic also exhibit fewer parasites, suggesting that toxicity may provide dual protection against both predators and infectious threats. This fascinating interplay between toxicity and parasitism opens up new avenues for understanding evolutionary adaptations.In this clip
