Summary

This study reviewed medical records of over 3,000 people treated for scorpion stings in Mexico. It looked at how using home remedies and waiting longer to get care affected symptom severity and the amount of antivenom needed. The goal is to help doctors use antivenom more wisely and encourage people to seek medical help faster.
