The Gadim scorpion is a yellow-brown scorpion with a long, thin tail that lives in the deserts of the Middle East. Its venom is highly dangerous, and it causes most deaths from scorpion stings in the Iran area. It is one of the few scorpions outside the Buthidae family that can potentially kill people.1

The venom is cytotoxic and hemolytic, meaning it destroys living cells, especially blood cells. A sting can cause serious wounds, skin inflammation, internal bleeding, kidney failure, and blisters or ulcers. General symptoms include dry mouth, thirst, dizziness, confusion, nausea, fever, vomiting and convulsions, which gradually get worse and are especially dangerous for children.1
