Question

Hi my mom got stung by a small scrorpion when me and her were talking. She screamed owch and she said it felt like a burn. She looks fine but im a little worried are scropions deadly poisonious?

Answer 1

If your mother was alergic you would know by now.  have her take a little benidryl. dont scratch or rub.  she will have a small amount of sweling, itch and be sore for a few days.  dont listen to any wives tales about topical treatments like tobaco, toth paste, baking soda, I have tried most and thay do not work. Just let it run its course for a few days

Answer 2

yes they can kill her get her to the docters asap

Answer 3

No, only in movies are scorpions that dangerous.

Ordinarily, it's very similar to a bee sting. It hurts, it might swell a little, but she'll be fine.

Answer 4

Some of them can be. If her face feels cold (ask her then feel it) then rush her to a hospital right away. I would even call a doctor and ask about it. Some scorpions inject highly potent toxins into the body. It all depends where you are and what kind of scorpion it was.

Answer 5

I would take her to the hospital anyways you can never be sure that she'll be alright

Answer 6

Most likely no...my mom has been stung a couple of times, and it hurts for awhile then it goes away..

It will not kill her do not listen to the girl above me, she is wrong

Answer 7

well i hope you got a loving dad

Answer 8

No the wood scorpions are the most common in North America and they're like wasp stings.  My husband got stunged twice, and the Dr. said that unless he was alergic to bee stings he would be ok
