Initial symptoms of a scorpion sting include localized pain or burning, minor swellings that are sensitive to the touch, numbness with intermittent tingling sensations, and severe muscle cramps. At first notice, scorpion stings should be treated just like any emergency condition, and should be inspected by a doctor as soon as possible. The site of the sting should first be thoroughly washed with soap and water.

A cold compress can reduce any swelling and redness. Medical experts don’t encourage cutting the site of the scorpion sting to facilitate blood flow. The most dreaded scorpion stings are those of the Sculptured Scorpions, known to be of the most poisonous scorpions.

Symptoms of Sculptured Scorpion stings include numbness or tingling of the face and other extremities, blurry vision, and muscle twitching. A victim may also show roving eye movements and exhibit hyperactivity. Very few people die from scorpion stings, though.

Most sensitive to the life-threatening symptoms of scorpion bites are the very young, the elderly, and people who are ill. Domestic pets are also at a risk.
