Understanding Scorpion Bites

Scorpion stings can cause a range of symptoms, from mild pain and swelling to severe reactions, depending on the species and the individual’s response to the venom. While most scorpion stings are not life-threatening, certain species can cause serious complications, especially in children, the elderly, or those with compromised immune systems. Subhadra Hospital provides immediate care for scorpion stings to relieve pain, prevent complications, and promote a fast recovery.

Common symptoms of a scorpion sting include:

  • Intense pain at the sting site

  • Swelling and redness around the wound

  • Numbness or tingling sensations

  • Fever and chills

  • Muscle spasms or twitching

  • Difficulty breathing (in severe cases)

  • Elevated heart rate or blood pressure
