Greetings,
All I can say is that I've seen many people get stang by scorpions in Jamaica, though it didn't happen to me, and nobody I know ever died of it.
It is painful; it swells a bit, but within a few hours it's all gone. I'm talking about scorpions we used to find near banana trees in St Elizabeth.
Still, remember, you never know you're allergic until it happens so better not try and find out if you are, keep your eyes open and don't move stones or leaves with your hands or bare foot as scorpions hide in the shade under sticks, leaves or rocks. They are not aggressive and tend to sting only if disturbed.
They're more afraid of you than you should be of them!
If you get stang and symptoms still show after one day, see a doctor. If at any time your breath gets short, you feel strong stomach pain, headache, fever, rush to ER.
In all cases do not panic it works against you. And don't hate scorpions, they have their part to play in the ecosystem.
Bless and Love

How can a scorpion bite be fatal?
Scorpion bites are unlikely to happen to anyone. Scorpion stings, however, contain venom which can have different effects on humans. This can range from a mild, local, inflammatory reaction similar to a bee sting, to serious systemic reactions (for example, scorpions in Trinidad can cause acute pancreatitis and other debilitating symptoms) and a few (very very few species) species can pose a lethal risk to humans. Anaphylaxis to scorpion venom can also be fatal.

Arizona More spesifically the Sonoran desert, which also includes southern California and parts of Mexico. Fatalities from scorpion venom are rare in the U.S. While thousands of people in Arizona are stung each year, only 2 deaths due to bark scorpion venom have been recorded in 4 decades. This is partly due to the fact that scorpion venom is meant to kill smaller animals, not humans, and because of quick access to anti venom.

Does the amount of venom in a Scorpion's stinger correlate to size of front claws?
Yes and No. Yes there is a relation, butno, it's not indicative of the venom AMOUNT. It's not so much the amount as the potency/concentration of the venom. The rule of thumb is that a scorpion with a thick tail in relation to it's pedipalps (pincers) is dangerous while scorpion with a thin tail in relation to it's pedipalps is not dangerous.
