At a very high level, I am very interested in the general concept that sometimes, the same thing that causes you a problem can be the solution to the problem.

Examples I have come up with so far:

1. radiation: causes cancer, but preferentially kills cancer cells

2. glue: sticks, but can be used to dissolve old glue to separate stuck things

3. violence: threat of mutually assured destruction can lead to peace, theoretical

4. infection: stimulates your immune system against further infection

5. ???
