For treatment of scorpion stings I would keep on hand, benadryl and anything else you might normally use for wasp stings.
Your lucky that you dont have the same kind of scorpions that we do around here. Usually about half of your body goes numb on the side of the sting area and the pain is severe for about 12 hours. I would rather be stung by a wasp or bee any day.
