“While most scorpion bites are not serious, medical attention may be necessary for pain management and wound care, including tetanus preventive vaccine,” according to centers for the prevention and control of diseases. “You are more likely that young children develop neurological symptoms and need urgent treatment.”
The scorpions are not typically found in the Boston area, but more than 2,000 species of predators are around the world, according to the Mayo Clinic.
“The scorpions can be found on all continents, except in Antarctica, but they are most commonly seen in the subtropical and tropical areas of the world,” says the CDC. “Scorpion bites often cause intense pain and redness, but the poison of some species can cause severe diseases, affecting the heart, nervous system and other organs. Manifestations include agitation, arrhythmias, bleeding and other coagulation disorders, pancreatitis, uncontrollable muscle spasms, shock and even death. “
