Scorpions can be eaten, but they are poisonous and you need to be careful about the amount you consume. Scorpions are known as whole scorpions in Chinese medicine and can be used in medicinal decoctions. Whole scorpion has the effects of calming wind and suppressing spasm, clearing channels and relieving pain (dredging meridians and channels to relieve pain), and attacking toxins and dispersing knots. It is used in the treatment of internal movement of liver wind, spasm and convulsions, pediatric convulsions (a pediatric disease characterized by dizziness, convulsions, and convulsions), stroke, hemiplegia (inability to move a limb at will), tetanus, rheumatism and intractable paralysis, hemiplegia, sores and ulcers, and scrofula (mainly refers to tuberculosis of the lymph nodes in the neck). When using scorpion, it is important to pay attention to the dosage in order to prevent overdosage leading to poisoning. The drug is contraindicated in pregnant women. Scorpion poisoning can lead to headache, irritability, elevated blood pressure, panic, and in severe cases, decreased blood pressure, respiratory distress, cyanosis, and respiratory paralysis. It is generally not recommended to take scorpion as food. When suffering from the above symptoms, patients should use the medicine under the guidance of a physician to avoid adverse consequences.
