Is the mexican scorpion poisonous?
The scorpion (Devil scorpions) of this genus will not cause more pain than the stings of ants and bees unless the patient has an allergic reaction to the venom. After being stung by them, the wound will not even be red, swollen, and only has the tingling and burning sensation. These discomforts do not require special treatment and usually subside automatically after 30 minutes.
