Alligator Blood Used For New Medicines

In Louisiana Chemists just discovered that alligator blood can be used to create new antibiotics. These antibiotics can be used against HIV. It is reported that alligator blood can get rid of 23 lines of harmful bacteria. There is still more research getting done, but scientists now know that alligator's blood helps the animal reject harmful infections and is working to get the same effect for humans. This was kind of a strange article. I'm not really sure if I would use medicine that had alligator blood in it...what do you think?
