There are at least 1,500 scorpion species, and only 25 of them produce a venom that causes serious harm to adult humans. However, any scorpion sting has the potential to cause an allergic reaction, which can be dangerous in its own right. Even if you have identified the species and know it is harmless, treat the wound and be prepared to call emergency services if you feel any symptoms besides pain and slight swelling.
