Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my question.  Jean,
especially, thank you for alerting me to Nils Bergman's article - I found
the full-text:
Bergman N, Scorpion sting in Zimbabwe, South African Medical Journal
1997;87(2):163-167
https://www.ajol.info/index.php/samj/article/view/157139
I see this research on 244 scorpion stings was part of his thesis to
become a medical doctor - what a little piece of history!

These little beasties sound very scary.  I'll send this info off to my
contact and it sounds as a sting is not something you get over in five
minutes!
