One of the most lethal scorpions on the globe is the deathstalker, and the substance that makes it so dangerous also happens to be the most expensive substance in the entire world. Per gallon, this material costs $39 million. Even if you had the money, you could not just go out and buy a gallon of the substance because it is only available in minute, insignificant quantities. A droplet smaller than a grain of sugar will cost you $130.

The answer is rather straightforward: it is difficult to find the goods. Almost always, each scorpion must be milked individually by hand. Moreover, a scorpion can only create two milligrams of venom at a time.

You would need to milk a scorpion 2.64 million times to fill a gallon if you had one. Furthermore, you would undoubtedly be stung along the road, let us face it. A healthy person can survive one sting without dying, but it still hurts.
