folarinmiles: is your brain touching?? op firstly kill the scorpion if you can it'll help identify which antivenom is suited best then wash the sting site with soap and water, apply a cold compress for “10 minutes on, then 10 minutes off.” Importantly, avoid aspirin or ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) because these can cause the venom to spread through the body more quickly. Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) can be taken to help relieve the pain at the site of the sting. Sometimes even more powerful pain medications, like opiates, are required to help alleviate pain. Taking an oral antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl) can help reduce some of the swelling and itching, as well. Immobilize the area so as to protect the wound and to help delay spreading the venom through the blood more quickly. Do not attempt suction, and do not cut into the wound; these are just great ways to ensure an infection! In general, it is a good idea to go and get checked out at the nearest hospital or health clinic if stung by a scorpion – especially if the species of scorpion is unknown. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Be alert for serious symptoms. ... Find the sting location. ... Wash the sting area with soap and water. ... Keep the injury area still and below heart level. ... Calm the victim. ... Apply a cold pack or ice to the sting area. ... Take nonprescription painkillers to reduce pain. That is all you need to do... 2 Likes |
