O. W. Barrett

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The prevailing belief in regard to scorpion stings seems to be correct: dangerons, but seldom fatal. However, there are scorpions and scorpions. Moreover, much depends upon the season and the part stung. Generally speaking, a sting in the dry season is much worse than one in the rainy season, because the venom becomes concentrated during the period of lesser activity. And for obvious reasons a sting in the head, neck or trunk of body is worse than one in the extremities.
