Scorpions

• Scorpion Venom
• About 20 scorpion species worldwide also have
  venom potent enough to be considered deadly to
  humans.  The world's most dangerous scorpions
  live in North Africa, the Middle East, South
  America, India, and Mexico.
• Scorpion venoms are complex mixtures of
  neurotoxins. The venom may produce severe pain
  and swelling at the site of the sting, numbness,
  frothing at the mouth, difficulties in breathing
  (including respiratory paralysis), muscle
  twitching, and convulsions. Death is rare,
  especially in more recent times. An antivenin is
  available for severe cases.
