  abstract = {{T}he black stone ({BS}) has been used since antiquity to treat envenomations. {S}ince no actual clinical trial has ever been performed we used an experimental approach to evaluate its efficacy against the venoms of {B}itis arietans, {E}chis ocellatus and {N}aja nigricollis. {L}ocal application of {BS} after intramuscular venom injection had no demonstrable effect on the outcome of envenomationa and it did not change the {LD}50 of {B}. arietans venom. {O}ur results show that, contrary to widespread belief, no efficacy to treat envenomation may be expected of the {BS}.},
