I’ve been stung by scorpions and it hurts like hell but I never thought to go to the doctor for it.
It’s funny we used to have scorpions and had been bitten a couple of times, but that was ten years ago! I don’t know where they went but good riddience!

I knew a British guy here that was stung (suspected scorpion).
He refused to have it treated and IIRC it continued to fester
for some weeks.
He then died, kidney failure, I think.
May, or may not have been related to the bite.
I would never take a chance with that kind of bite.
It's really important to know what species of scorpions are in your area. Some are just annoying, like a bee sting. Others can be deadly. A general rule of thumb is usually to look at the size of the pincers. If they're big, compared to the rest of the scorpion, the venom usually isn't too powerful. However, if the scorpion is large, with small, thin pincers, they generally have extremely potent venom, and can be extremely dangerous.
