You’ve been stung. Now what?

hIf a baby is stung and starts screaming and crying inconsolably, get them to the doctor immediately. One of the telltale signs of the nerve toxin is that it will cause their eyes to roll in their head in an unnatural way.

hSince the venom can impede your ability to breathe, much like a reaction to a bee sting, anaphylactic shock is a possibility. Put victims in a position to promote airflow, preferably on their side.

hGet rid of the scorpion so it doesn’t sting someone else.

hHeat can help relieve the pain, and ice cubes help to a lesser degree.

hGet medical attention immediately—antivenom is available for certain species, like bark scorpions, if you can get medical help quickly. If you get the antivenom within an hour or so, you are very likely to pull through.
