Abstract

This article begins by describing how Iberian Peninsula scorpion bites poison humans. Then the only potentially dangerous scorpion species in the peninsula is identified. Other types of scorpions or those which inhabit other continents are not included. Once identified, the author describes the characteristics and effects on the symptoms of this scorpion bite and how to treat and handle a victim, both at the moment when the victim is bitten and in hospitals.
