season, to feed on its prey from insects and plants, and finally human blood,
and it is scientifically classified as the most dangerous type it has ever been
called.
In the case of a black scorpion sting, the person
feels severe pain at the site of the secretion of the poison, which consists of
very dangerous compounds spread throughout the entire body, and its effect
appears between the first minutes of the sting, causing severe agitation,
severe shortness of breath, and the temperature of the injured rises to 40
degrees Celsius and more If the poison is not dealt with after an hour at most,
and profuse sweat exits the body with saliva secretion from the mouth and

serum immediately after the bite exposure, and in most of the Cases with black
scorpion sting survive, and the probability of death is reduced among children,

Treatment of scorpion in the hospital
Scorpion stings must be toxic and constitute a real
danger to the patient until he is treated, as some scorpion stings are not
toxic, and therefore it is sufficient to purify them using alcohol, betadine or
any other antiseptic type, but if the scorpion is toxic, then when the patient
arrives at the hospital, the receptionist requests him Sitting immediately, and
refraining from moving the affected part as much as possible and then linking
the location of the poison to avoid spreading it in the blood, and if the sting
in the head or neck is used to cool the affected area due to the difficulty of
connecting it and then after that it is given a sedative of (betamethasone) or
( Adrenaline) to relieve pain and after the patient calms down, an antidote can
be used as an intravenous infusion, sometimes it is diluted with saline to
avoid the patient being allergic to the substance being used.

Did you know that treating a scorpion sting at home is
sometimes better than receiving an anti-toxin vaccine in the hospital? Yes,
sometimes eating the serum poses a great risk to the injured person and it may
be better to refrain from taking it, and some believe that the patient's
emergency assistance depends only on the absorption of poison by the mouth by
the paramedic and expelled him out, but this is not true at all because this
method harms the toxin and causes He suffered from bleeding, and harms the
medic because it causes the transfer of microbes in the toxin to the mouth of
the medic.

alramram. Sesame oil can also be placed on the bite site or use both lemon or
garlic, as they are useful in absorbing the surrounding bacteria caused by the
scorpion sting.
Treating scorpion sting with chlorine
One of the old information that has been passed on
through generations is that placing chlorine on the position of the scorpion
sting is useful for absorbing the entire poison and this information has no
basis for health because the body of the scorpion secretes the poison in the
most distant part of the skin and thus chlorine does not reach the poison, and
chlorine is also considered a substance Harmful to the skin as it causes dry
skin and the appearance of rashes and also increases the factors of skin
cancer. There is no need to use it in
the event of exposure to bites from any insect or animal, and it is preferred
