Death due to sting by the red scorpion is not uncommon in parts of India. Extensive clinical study has shown that fatality is due to cardiovascular involvement as a result of autonomic storm. Prazosin and nifedipine helped to counter the physiological actions of scorpion venom on the sympathetic nervous system. Scorpion antivenom remains unobtainable for human scorpionism in India.
在印度部分地区，红蝎子蜇伤致死的情况并不罕见。广泛的临床研究表明，死亡是由于自主神经风暴导致心血管受累所致。哌唑嗪和硝苯地平有助于对抗蝎毒对交感神经系统的生理作用。在印度，人类被蝎子蜇伤后仍无法获得抗蝎毒血清。
