Causes Of Scorpion Allergy

Scorpions are arthropods - a relative of insects, spiders and crustaceans - and have changed little over the last 400 million years.

The scorpion is on average about 3 inches (7.6 cm), but different species can be much smaller or larger. At 8 inches (20 cm), the African scorpion is probably the longest in the world. Scorpions are eight feet and a pair of pliers as crabs, giving them a hard stare. The poison is carried in a gland behind him, and when there is an attack, a scorpion sting can be turned to the past at the speed of light. The same poison is a complex mixture of toxic substances that affect the nervous system (neurotoxins).

Many people think that scorpions dangerous pests, but they play an essential role in the ecosystem, which consume large amounts of other arthropods and even small snakes and mice. They are shy and nocturnal creatures that resist crushing unless provoked or attacked. They can control the amount of venom release - depending on how they feel threatened - so some bites can be almost entirely venomless.
