As a pioneer treating a scorpion sting, I would first ensure the person remains calm and still to slow the spread of venom. I would clean the sting site with soap and water to prevent infection, then apply a cold compress or cloth soaked in cool water to reduce swelling and pain. If available, I might use herbal remedies like plantain or activated charcoal to draw out the venom. Finally, I would monitor for severe symptoms and seek further medical help if necessary.

Are water scorpions poisonous?

Scorpions are surrounded by much myth and are generally considered more dangerous animals than they usually are. They are night creatures from the spider family, and hunt - and are hunted by - insects, lizards, mice and so on. The largest is the South African Scorpion which can reach over 8 inches long, but most are only a couple of inches. Even then most deaths from stings that do occur are in babies and the elderly or result from hypersensitivity to the venom through anaphylactic shock. People who live around scorpions usually treat their stings as we would treat a wasp sting. i.e. painful but not life-threatening. P.S They are unable to sting what they are standing on if quite a flat surface, so you're reasonably safe if one has crawled onto your arm or leg.., until you try to pick it up!
