No different than being stung by a yellow jacket unless you are sensitive to the venom. There are Mexican and Sahara Desert Scorpions that have a more toxic venom but the average scorpion is no more dangerous than a bee.

Had a neighbor in Costa Rica killed by one. The damned thing had settled into the man’s house slippers during the night. He got up the next morning and broke a cardinal rule there by not checking first before putting bare feet anywhere. Knocking my shoes on the floor and checking before putting them on is something I do even now by life long habit. Drives the family nuts.
