I was bitten twice last night on my bad leg. My leg is now completely numb and in excruciating pain.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get toxin out of my body?

Poison control didn't have any suggestions.

If your leg is numb and painful you should get to the ER right away. I don't think you should wait.

I don't know much about scorpion bites except like everything else in the world they affect different people differently.

My husband was bitten by scorpions two separate times in Asia and the poison just formed little blisters and eventually went away. But I'm sure if I was the one who'd been bitten I'd probably have gotten really sick.

Please don't take any chances, go see a doc and find out for sure.

They are not to be toyed with. Get yourself to a hospital pronto. There are treatments for it, and who did you talk to at poison control because that's a load of BS if they told you they didn't know anything.

Scorpions sometimes sting, and unfortunately we have scorpions in Arizona. But if you stay calm, it is easy to treat a scorpion sting. Even if you are stung by the Bark Scorpion, local medical centers are familiar with the treatment.
Difficulty: Average

Time Required: Hopefully, not much.

Here's How:
1. Recognize scorpion sting symptoms: immediate pain or burning, very little swelling, sensitivity to touch, and a numbness/tingling sensation.

2. A Bark Scorpion is poisonous. The Bark Scorpion sting may have additional symptoms such as numbness or tingling of extremities or face, blurry vision, or muscle twitching.

3. When stung by a Bark Scorpion, children may start to exhibit hyperactivity and have roving eye movements.

4. If you are victim of a scorpion sting, wash the area with soap and water.

5. Apply a cool compress on the area of the scorpion sting.

6. Call the Poison Control Center at (800) 362-0101 or (602) 253-3334. If you develop symptoms of a Bark Scorpion sting, go to the nearest emergency room.

7. Keep your tetanus shots and boosters current.
