How To Cure Tingling Sensation All Over The Body After A Sting By Scorpio?

Last night about 11 p.m. I was stung by a brown scorpion. I live in North Texas. I don't think we have the fatal scorpions in this area. The sting area isn't painful anymore but I have tingling all over my body, especially in my mouth, tongue and fingers. Will this go away with time? I can't even see the sting area on my elbow this morning.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your were stung by a brown scorpion, which has led to tingling all over my body, especially in my mouth, tongue and finger but you are not able to appreciate any sting mark of the suspected area.

In most of the scorpion stings treatment is simply supportive and can be done at home.For your condition I would suggest you to follow

1.Wash the sting with soap and water.
2.Apply cool compresses, usually 10 minutes on and off of the site of the sting.
3.Acetaminophen tablets every 4 hours may be given to relieve pain.
4.Antibiotics are helpful if there is any secondary bacterial infection.

The aforementioned measures will help to control your symptoms and improve your condition.
Thank you.
