Scorpion sting is a problem all over the world and becomes an acute problem when it is associated with death. Iran is known as a region with a large number of scorpions and, of course, with many cases of scorpion stings per year. So far, 11 scorpion species in Iran have been identified as dangerous, of which there are only three species for which deaths have been reported. Due to the importance of these three species, we prepared a distribution map of these three types of scorpions and discuss the implications of these findings in the larger context of dangerous scorpion stings in Iran.
蝎子蜇伤是一个全球性的问题，当它与死亡相关联时，就成为一个严重的问题。伊朗是一个拥有大量蝎子的地区，每年当然会有很多蝎子蜇伤的病例。到目前为止，伊朗已经确定了 11 种危险的蝎子物种，其中只有 3 种有死亡报告。由于这三个物种非常重要，我们绘制了这三种蝎子的分布图，并在伊朗危险蝎子蜇伤的更大背景下讨论了这些发现的意义。
