File this under “Better Late Than Never”: Rhino horns do not treat erectile dysfunction.
With several species of rhinos on the verge of extinction, it’s vital that poachers understand that, contrary to what some people believe, there is nothing in the make-up of the beast’s horn that works as well as modern erectile dysfunction drugs, such as Viagra.
And yet according to laboratoryequipment.com, rhino poaching just for the horns is still on the rise, with more than 1,000 of the animals killed in South Africa in 2016 alone.
Around the globe, about 30,000 of the six species of rhino were killed.
Unfortunately, not enough people are standing up for the rhino, and as long as people are making money, they’ll continue poaching. The World Wildlife Fund reports that just one kilogram of the powdered horn costs about $80,000 on the Black Market.
Modern treatment for erectile dysfunction
With today’s erectile dysfunction drugs, such as Viagra, widely available at a fraction of the cost of a rhino horn, it’s hard to believe that anyone is still using the folklore medicine.
Viagra is the most popular erectile dysfunction drug in the world and works for more than 80% of men.
In the United States, men can get a prescription for Viagra from their doctor. The FDA-approved drug requires a prescription to help ensure that what you’re taking is both effective and pure.
It’s the safest way to get treatment for your erectile dysfunction, seeing as many of the fake Viagra pills on the Black Market contain toxins, such as detergent, road paint, and arsenic.
Why talk to your doctor
Although it may feel a bit embarrassing to talk to your doctor about erectile dysfunction, there are a lot of good things about doing it.
First, you’ll get to discuss possible underlying causes of your erectile dysfunction, which could include anything from stress and anxiety to smoking, diabetes and heart disease.
You’ll also get to go over your current medications to ensure that none interact with Viagra. These include drugs such as nitrates, alpha blockers, and certain antifungals.
