What type of scorpions kill you?
yes, some scorpions are deadly, but the smaller they are, the more deadly, and the bigger, the less deadly. This is not exactly the case. In the US the only dangerously venomous scorpion is the Bark Scorpion, which tends to be on the small end of the scale. It is only dangerous to the very young, the infirm and the very old. If you are stung by a scorpion it is not a bad idea to have it checked out if you have anything except a local reaction. These stings are quite painful and will cause redness and swelling as well. If you have any shortness of breath, muscle twiches in areas away from the sting and/or facial swelling you should seek medical assistance.

What is the difference between swelling and inflammation?
Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury suffered by body tissue( muscle, tendon or ligament). Swelling is a cardinal sign of inflammation. Swellling is the build up of fluid in the interstitium( space surrounding cells - in this case, injured cells.), which is as a result of an osmotic pressure created by proteins moving into the interstitum (due to vasodilation: a process used by inflammation). Also note that if inflammation is not properly completed, the healing process( marked as the proliferative phase) cannot begin. Swelling should be prevented by wrapping the injured area and elevation of the injured area. Anti-inflammatory medication should not be used until inflammation has persisted for more than 10 days.
