“I lived in Kingman Arizona when I was a kid. The place was crawling with scorpions. Big ones. Also there were rattlesnakes galore. If I had known the scorpion venom was that valuable, I would have changed my career. By the way, I hate scorpions.”

Ditto. Hate them too. I lived in Blythe, California.

“...used scorpion venom for centuries as a natural pain reliever.”

That’s odd, its reputation is exactly the opposite!

No, one drop of water is about .05 milliliters. Drop size varies with the solution due to viscosity and surface tension.

No doubt. I bet the material of the dropper matters as well.

Like you, its been 50 years. I looked it up. I seem to recall you have to form the drops slowly as well.
