Fact!

If you are a young person or suffer from illness, you are at the greatest risk of complications from a scorpion sting.

Scorpions have killed two people in Arizona within the last 30 years—a child under the age of 4 and an adult over the age of 55. 

The venom of a Bark Scorpion can cause: severe pain at sting site, numbness, frothing at the mouth, difficulty breathing, respiratory paralysis, muscle twitching, and convulsions.
