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!
