| Envenomation by Parabuthus transvaalicus |
| All scorpions possess a neurotoxic venom that affects the central nervous system but there are some exotic species with cytotoxic venom. The severity of envenomation by P. transvaalicus depends on various factors such as the health and age of the victim, the sting site, size and degree of agitation of the scorpion. A person with heart or respiratory problems will be at greater risk. |
