Scorpions of Rwanda

 by Jonathan Leeming

Fatalities from scorpion stings are uncommon, due to the species that occur in the country. As with all scorpions tings, children under the age fo 8 years old and the aged are at risk me life threatening symptoms/ In some regions where highly venomous scorpions are prevalent, children may be more vulnerable to severe reactions.

The following scorpions are found in Rwanda

  • Hemiscorpius lepturus
  • Hottentotta hottentotta
  • Babycurus ?

I'm on a mission to reduce the burden of spider bites and scorpion stings across Southern Africa!
