The Indian red scorpion is a small, venomous scorpion found across most of India, eastern Pakistan, the eastern lowlands of Nepal and, more recently, Sri Lanka. It often lives close to people, so its sting is a serious concern in busy rural areas, especially for children.1

It lives in vegetated lowlands with a humid subtropical to tropical climate, and often lives close to or inside human homes, especially in rural areas. It is found in scrubland, cropland, mango orchards, Eucalyptus plantations and under tree bark. People mostly meet it at night or in the early morning, when it crawls into beds or falls from ceilings.1

  • Its walking legs and the tips of its pincers are bright orange-yellow to light reddish-brown.1
  • Its body is about 5 to 9 cm long (50 to 90 mm).1
  • It has three distinct ridges (carinae) on the top of its body segments.1
  • It has rather small pincers, a moderately thick tail and a rounded tail tip with a large stinger.1
  • In males, the base of the pincers is slightly more swollen than in females.1

A na-agwakọkarị ya na: Under tree bark, its close relative Hottentotta pachyurus is far more common, making up about 91% of scorpions found there in one study in Pune, western India. Scorpions found under bark in that area are therefore more likely to be that species.1

The venom is a complex mixture of proteins, including a toxin called tamapin. It mainly affects the heart and lungs, causing symptoms such as severe local pain, vomiting, sweating, unconsciousness, muscle convulsions, breathlessness, abnormal heart rhythms, shock and pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs), which may cause death.1

It is of great medical significance in densely populated areas of India and Nepal and occasionally causes human deaths. Clinical studies report fatality rates of 8 to 40%, and most victims are children. In Sri Lanka, 12 children in Jaffna died from its stings in 2011, and 80 patients were recorded in 2012.1

  • Antivenin is the specific treatment, combined with supportive care such as vasodilators for heart effects and benzodiazepines for muscle effects. Scorpion antivenom has shown little effect in clinical treatment, while the drug prazosin, which lowers raised blood pressure, is usually recommended and reduces the mortality rate to less than 4%. Get to a hospital fast.1

Eziokwu

1

Most of its victims are children, and clinical studies report fatality rates of 8 to 40%.1

2

It often comes indoors, where it may crawl into beds or fall from ceilings at night.1

3

Its venom affects the heart and lungs more than the nerves, which is why its symptoms can become life-threatening.1

4

Prazosin, a drug used to lower blood pressure, reduces its mortality rate to less than 4%.1

5

It was not originally found in Sri Lanka, but studies from 2010 to 2013 showed it is now present there.1

Onye na-ekpughe akụkọ ụgha

Akụkọ ụgha: Five different subspecies of the Indian red scorpion exist.

Eziokwu: R.I. Pocock described five groups in 1900, but these are colour variants (colour morphs), not true subspecies.1
