Scorpion Stings? | Venom Effects and the World's Deadliest Scorpions? |
















         Scorpions are part of the arachnid lineage sharing a family tree with their tick might and spider cousins with around 2,000 species scuttling around the globe scorpions come in all shapes and sizes on the tiny side there's the tectus melli which could easily hide in a 9 mm teaspoon on the other end of the spectrum is the mighty emperor scorpion stretching up to 21 cm long big enough to need a pretty large shoe to hide under but no matter their size every scorpion has a powerful weapon a venomous Stinger at the end of their tail this Stinger is made up of two parts the Telson which houses the Venom glands and their aculus a sharp hardened needle they used to inject Venom into their prey or any foe brave enough to cross their path hence the question arises what happens if that foe happens to be a human well when a scorpion stings its stinger pierces the skin and acts like a syringe injecting venom through a small opening at the tip of the Stinger the amount of Venom depends on the size of the Scorpion its species and how threatened it feels once inside the skin the Venom starts spreading quickly scorpion venom is a neurotoxin which means it targets the nervous system and disrupts the normal flow of signals between nerves causing them to either fire uncontrollably or stop iring all together this disruption can lead to symptoms like pain tingling numbness muscle spasm and in severe cases even paralysis as the Venom spreads through the surrounding tissues and into the bloodstream it's carried throughout the body this is why symptoms can pop up in places far from the original sting sight the Venom can also trigger an increase in heart rate as the body reacts to the stress in some cases blood pressure may drop leading to dizziness or fainting fortunately when the body senses anything unusual the immune system kicks into gear and sends white blood cells to the sting site to attack and neutralize the Venom this immune resp response can cause inflammation which is why the area might become red swollen and warm simultaneously the liver and kidneys also jump into action working to detoxify the Venom as it circulates through the body over time the body breaks down the Venom molecules and the symptoms gradually fade luckily most scopion stings aren't lethal and only cause pain and discomfort which typically resolve within a few hours to a few days however if the sting comes from a highly venomous scorpion like the Indian Red Scorpion bar Scorpion and the death stalker it's important to stay calm at first and take a picture of the offender then immediately wash The Sting area with soap and water after this apply a cool compress or ice pack and keep the affected area raised and still to slow the Venom speed next without delay head to the hospital where doctors can look at the picture you provided and administer antivenom a special medicine that neutralizes the Scorpion's toxins with the right care and the right time even the most dangerous things can be treated effectively trivia time did you know scorpions were around long before the first dinosaurs also Lis and chemicals in their hairline layer cause scorpions to Glow under ultraviolet.
