What happens when you get stung by a scorpion the second time?

Question

My girlfriend was recently stung by a scorpion and we heard somewhere the second time it could potentially be deadly. Does anyone know if this is true? What happens?

Answer 1

No, a second sting from a scorpion would not be deadly. It would be the same as the first.  You have to be stung by a scorpion with deadly venom to meet your maker, and it only takes once.
