Yes, scorpion venoms are optimized for action upon other arthropods and therefore most scorpions are relatively harmless to humans; stings produce only local effects (such as pain, numbness or swelling). A few scorpion species, however, mostly in the family Buthidae, can be dangerous to the point of killing humans.

All scorpions are venomous. Some of them are considered dangerous, and their stings can be fatal. It depends on a number of things - the type of scorpion, how badly you get stung, your sensitivity to the venom, your size/age and general health, susceptibility to anaphylactic shock and how quickly you can get medical treatment.

Fat tailed scorpion Androctonus australis

Death stalker, Leiurus quinquestriatus

Black fat tail scorpion, Androctonus bicolor

NO, but they can sting you and kill you like that. There are 25 scorpion species known to be venomous enough to kill a human being.

1000 or so people die each year in Mexico from the yellow scorpion in the Southwest us and Mexico. It invades homes and is hard to be rid of. I had 49 in one apartment (expensive one too) I had them in my house and was stung and almost lost my life.
