Its venom has an LD50 of 8.0 mg/kg, which is a measure of toxicity. The amount that would be needed to reach this level is far more than the stinger carries, so a single sting delivers much less than this dose.1

Eziokwu

In Cuba, a mixture called escoazul is used in traditional medicine as an anti-inflammatory. It contains a diluted dose of this scorpion's venom.1

Only 15% of these scorpions reach adulthood, because lack of food is a major problem for them.1

Its life expectancy is three to five years.1
