I was told in Mexico to cut a clove of garlic in half and apply to help the pain. Apply ice on the area intermittently and elevate to help swelling. If worse symptoms go to a hospital. Expect numbness to a degree dependent on number of stings (envenomation) usually lasting for days.
If you have shortness of breath, severe swelling, palpitations or if your blood pressure goes up a lot get medical help they have antivenin.
The Arizona scorpion is highly poisonous and affects people with hypertension, heart or lung disease and extremes of age worse.
