#nAChR function is blocked by snake venom toxin like sequence

Nicotine protects from sp!k & activates them restores cholinergic function which, BTW, is needed for breathing, hearing, seeing, & bowel function, among other things
100% serious, & no standard Dr is discussing it
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor polypeptides that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nicotinic receptors also respond to drugs such as the agonist nicotine. ... In the immune system, nAChRs regulate inflammatory processes and signal through distinct intracellular pathways.
ubiquitous in the human central nervous system. Their high density in the thalamus, striatum, limbic system, and neocortex suggest that cholinergic transmission is likely to be critically important for memory, learning, attention and other higher brain functions. Several lines of research suggest additional roles for cholinergic systems in overall brain homeostasis and plasticity. As such, the brain's cholinergic system occupies a central role in ongoing research related to normal cognition and age-related cognitive decline, including dementias such as Alzheimer's disease.
