epilectic shock is possible but mostly its just that there are some scorpians ( like the bark scorpion in arizona ) that are really hard to find and are everywhere which means trouble

There are a very few kinds of scorpions whose
sting can be fatal to a human. Besides death the
effects of the stings are usually pain and some
times temporary paralysis. As usual, children and
people unusually sensitive to organic poisons are
in more danger than others. The number of deaths
from scorpion stings in the world as a whole is small. Southwestern United States and Mexico,
South America and Trinidad, and Africa have some
of the most dangerous scorpions. However it
is fairly easy to avoid being stung. I have picked
up a number of scorpions with my fingers and been stung only once. There was little reaction,
I have been bitten by insects that hurt worse.

well i live in texas as well in the chihuahua desert region, and around here we dont really get scorpions, (at least where i live) but i do know that some desert scorpions are quiet fatal, for eg. the black desert scorpion (you know the really Big black hairy one) as i am informed can kill you within 5 minutes, as the light tan colored ones arent harmeful, i know someone who got stung on the leg by the tan ones (when she was a child) and she said that it had felt like her leg was on fire, and she had temporary poralasys. so some can paralyze for life whilst others can for a while, and in rare cases some can be fatal, it is really the scorpions in YOUR area that you should find out more about. ;)

the most dangerouse scorpians are located in the golbi desert and sahara. others non fatal can cause dilusions, paralysis, and a burning sensation(the last one im guessing on)
