Dangerous Scorpions

Essential Scorpion Sting First Response by Jonathan Leeming

There is a common question that is often asked when someone discovers a scorpion “Is it dangerous?”.

We can all appreciate that driving a car down a busy street at 200km per hour is dangerous... Someone is going to get injured or killed. Sitting in a parked car in a parking lot is not dangerous. It is not so much the car that introduces the element of danger, but rather how we interact with the car. This same principle applies to scorpions.

Scorpions are not inherently dangerous, it is often how we interact with that animal increases or decreases the element of danger.

Dangerous Scorpions

If we really want to label things as dangerous, then the act of smoking, driving a car, eating fast food and drinking alcohol are all far more ‘dangerous’ than any venomous animal.
