I presented a poster at the 2024 Oppenheimer Research Conference in Midrand 2024. This poster presents a new and innovative science based first response framework that addresses the burden of scorpion stings in Southern Africa across all levels of society. This framework reduces the chance of being stung by a scorpion, and ensures the best possible outcome for stings in humans and animals. Developed by Jonathan Leeming. This is essentially an overview of some of the main areas of the book.
This book offers a new and innovative first response framework that is based upon the latest science, is easy to understand and put into practice. It will reduce the burden of scorpion stings across Southern Africa by answering two very important questions:
This book will be of particular value to anyone working or living in areas where scorpions abound and is of particular value to medical professionals, veterinarians, field guides, hunters and anyone who enjoys the great outdoors.
Jonathan is Southern Africa’s leading authority on spider bite and scorpion sting first response. He is a best selling author, international speaker and award-winning conservationist. He consults for poison information helplines, medical organisations and academic institutions, and speaks and is a panel member at medical conferences. His work has inspired a generation, and has shaped our understanding of scorpions and scorpion stings across Southern Africa.
