It depends on the type of Scorpion - Most stings are the equivalent of getting stung by a bee, unless you're allergic to the venom.
If you live in Nevada or Arizona, the big red ones are the equivalent of a bee sting and little brownish-black ones are quite poisonous. If it was a big red one, then watch the sting area and if it starts getting red & puffy, get yourself to the doctor (Start by taking Benadril, or a similar antihistimine).
If it was a small brownish-black one, go to the doctor right away! (Still take the antihistimine).

Go to a doctor. They aren't as harmful to a healthy adult as some would believe.
