l have MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) and l was wondering what would happen if l got stung by one of the most venomous scorpions known to man, the Leiurus quinquestriatus aka ''Death Stalker.'' I am getting 5 of them soon, so l wanted to know...

Thanks.
The reason why l keep scorpions, tarantulas, and other misc. invertebrates as pets is because they fascinate me. It is a hobby that l really enjoy and it is also very addicting.

Generally, scorpion & spider bites r not venomous enough to kill an adult human (it is usually snakes that pose a serious threat). With ur heart condition, u would certainly be at an increased risk of death or complications if stung, but realistically you'd probably be fine as long as u got to a hospital quickly.

It is still important to practice caution when dealing with venomous animals, of course. l am not sure why you'd want to have one of those things as a pet.

well you would not necessarily die. since it all depends where it stings you and how much poison is introduced in your body. But because of you condition it has a greater risk of death, so you should handle them with greater care. And get to the hospital even FASTER.

counter question.would l die if l get stung by a cobra?
