Essential Scorpion Sting First Response Book

Essential Scorpion Sting First Response by Jonathan Leeming

This book represents a giant leap forward in our understanding of scorpions and scorpion stings in southern Africa. It offers a new and innovative first response framework that is based upon the latest science, is easy to understand and put into practice. It reduces the burden of scorpion stings across Southern Africa by answering two very important questions:

  • How can you reduce the chance of being stung by a scorpion.
  • If a sting does occur, how can you ensure the best possible outcome for stings in humans and animals?

This book is an upgrade on our current understanding of scorpions and scorpions stings as it offers a refreshingly new perspective on a familiar subject that is in desperate need of updating. New concepts that are introduced in the book including:

  • New terminology.
  • Classes of symptoms.
  • Boundary between self treatment and transporting the patient to professional medical assistance. 
  • Timeframes for symptoms.
  • Factors influencing symptoms severity.
  • Red flags.

For the first time we now have a step by step guide to responding to a scorpion sting.
