Scorpions represent a contradiction within the human mind. It is true that a few species of scorpion are venomous enough to cause harm to us and in rare cases death. However, at the same time they are a vital component of those natural systems that give us life!
This Essential Scorpion Sting First Response Presentation is based upon some of the content from Jonathan's new book, Essential Scorpion Sting First Response. It offers 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.
The following supporting resources are available for participants.
Thank you for. Your brilliant presentation on scorpion stings. It was most enlightening and easy to understand. I like the way you included values and beliefs and how they can, distract us from responding to a scorpion sting. I look forward to your next presentation.
As usual, it was extremely informative to have Jonathan as a host of the members meeting of the Transvaal branch of SA Hunters. We look forward to inviting him in the near future.
Jonathan, you are a true visionary in your space! Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Thank you for presenting at our members meeting. We rarely have speakers such as yourself with such indepth understanding of their subject (scorpions and scorpion stings) and such an easy and informal style of presenting. Some of our members have already asked me to arrange for you to speak to them again.
Greetings Jonathan,
Thanks for a mighty professional presentation.
Your introduction made it simple to identify the toxicity of different types of scorpions and easy, therefore, to remember. Your style was relaxed, faultless and humorous and you are the only presenter who focuses on the audience and not the screen. Well done!
Please let me have a synopsis of your new book and I'll try to get you some orders via our Club's monthly newsletter. Many thanks again for entertaining and educating us - we would love to host you again.
Your presentation was amazing not just in the content and how it all fitted together, but in your way of presenting... informal, relatable yet vital understanding even for those of us who consider ourselves conservationists.
You deserve your own TV show. Please make it happen.
Your understanding of spiderbites is far beyond anyone else that I have met. The flow diagram and your explanation towards the end of you presentation outlines exactly what to do in an easy to remember way.
I attended your presentation as a recommendation from a friend. Your reputation as the top scorpion experts in South Africa is spot on. Your presentation demonstrated a unique insight into these animals that I have never experienced with anyone else. Keep up the great work, we need more of you in the world.
