As a result of the bad weather that hit Aswan Governorate yesterday, the governorate witnessed an increase in scorpion stings infections, and although only 25 species out of 1000 species of scorpions are poisonous, scorpion stings can make you sick, and their stings even lead to death, and here are some Tips to avoid scorpion stings, according to the clevelandclinic website:
1- Some scorpions like to climb, so you should reduce the risk of scorpions climbing or falling into the crib, for example, by moving it away from the wall.
2 – It is preferable to wear full clothes and long shoes when approaching their locations. It is very necessary to wear long shoes that cover large parts of the foot, and it is strictly forbidden to walk barefoot at night in their areas to avoid scorpion bites.
3- Place glass jars near the crib, as scorpions cannot climb into glass jars.
4 – Make sure to clean the beds well before bed, as scorpions can hide inside your sheets, simply pull out your duvet and check it before you sleep to reduce the risk of stinging a scorpion.
5. You should also check your clothes before wearing them, especially your shoes. Scorpions can hide in your clothes, especially if you leave them on the floor. Always shake your shoes before wearing them in case a scorpion slips into your shoes.
6. Be sure to remove pet food bowls after use when not in use and don’t forget to clean any dirty brushes, utensils or clutter outside so scorpions don’t hide in them.
