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.
