I want to scare you.

The pain you feel after a scorpion sting is instantaneous and extreme. Any swelling and redness will usually appear within five minutes. More severe symptoms, if they’re going to occur, will come on within the hour.

It’s possible to die from a scorpion sting, though unlikely. There are an estimated 1,500 species of scorpion in the world, and only 30 of these produce venom toxic enough to be fatal.

I do not know of any, sorry. I'm hoping you were stung by one of the non-venomous scorpions.

go to a clinic, the most venomous of scorpions aren't found in our region thankfully.
Local clinics(not crude oh) have some injections they give at site of sting. It should neutralize it immediately.

Scorpions stings are not deadly though, i.e the ones in sub Sahara. But you suppose cry from the sting..lol.
