15. First Aid for Scorpion Sting Wash the area with soap and water Apply a cold pack to reduce pain Do not consume alcohol or sedatives Monitor for severe allergic reactions

16. 1. Stay Calm & Keep Still Reassure the victim and keep them calm — panic increases heart rate, which can spread the venom faster. Keep the affected part below heart level if possible. 2. Move to a Safe Area Get away from the scorpion to avoid additional stings. If indoors, check surroundings to prevent others from being stung. 3. Clean the Sting Site Wash the area with soap and clean water to reduce infection risk. Avoid cutting or sucking the wound. 4. Apply a Cold Pack Place a cold pack or wrapped ice on the sting site for 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off . This helps reduce pain and swelling. ❌ Don’t put ice directly on the skin for long periods (risk of frostbite). 6. Pain Relief If needed, give paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain. Avoid aspirin in children due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome.
