Scientists from the University of Oxford have discovered that saliva from ticks could be used to combat a type of heart disease which can cause sudden death in young people.
Published Tuesday in the journal Scientific Reports, the study details how saliva from the seemingly irritating ticks could be used to treat an often fatal heart disease called myocarditis.
Around 30 percent of people with the condition will experience heart failure which, unless they get a successful transplant, will result in death.
