Treatment of a scorpion sting


Pain at the site of the sting can sometimes be limited with an ice cube.


Painkilling injections (morphine-based painkiller) may be required and a doctor should therefore be consulted. In the case of more marked symptoms, treatment must be given as for snake bites, and the patient must receive medical treatment as quickly as possible.


There is antiserum for scorpion venom. Treatment must be overseen by a doctor.

also:
Danger signals and symptoms

The majority of scorpions are harmless to humans, although the sting is extremely painful and will require painkilling treatment. The following may be observed in cases of moderate to more serious poisoning:


malaise, sweating, heart palpitations, rise in blood pressure, salivation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. These symptoms should be treated in a similar way to snake bites, and a doctor should be consulted as quickly as possible.


hyperacute (typically allergic) reactions in the form of blurring of consciousness, unconsciousness, convulsions, fall in blood pressure, shock and consequently the threat of death may occur.

hope it's not too bad

Well I'm not sure if a scorpion sting is poisonous but I think you should go to the hospital or to the doctors office.

Advice:

Next time a scorpion stings you, haul your butt down to the ER. Don't go onto a message board askign what you should do. Worst thing that happens is they tell you it's not poisonous, and you go home.
