Poisoning due to scorpion venom

Poisoning due to scorpion venom, also known as scorpion envenomation, is an acute toxic condition resulting from the inoculation of scorpion neurotoxins into tissue The condition primarily impacts the peripheral and central nervous systems, the autonomic nervous system, and the cardiovascular system, with young children and the elderly facing the highest risk of severe illness and complications Defining clinical features range from intense local pain and paresthesia to profound systemic toxicity...

Pathophysiologically, the venom contains peptide toxins that prolong voltage-gated sodium and potassium channel activation in excitable tissues, provoking massive, uncontrolled release of endogenous neurotransmitters and catecholamines
