Recently, egypt, a land of countless mysterious legends, has happened to magical things, hundreds of terrifying poisonous scorpions suddenly poured into the southern Egyptian city of Aswan from the desert wilderness, threatening.
Many residents were caught off guard, and more than 500 ordinary people were stung when the scorpion tide came.
Dizziness, diarrhea, convulsions and other symptoms scared everyone away.
Some people say that the 2020 epidemic, the 2021 insect plague, the end of the century that the Bible said will indeed come true!
Some people say that this must be the curse of the scorpion king of ancient Egypt, to make the scorpion army devour everything.
There is also outrageous, saying that November is the month of Scorpio, and it is normal to have a scorpion plague...
Some media also seem to have grasped the traffic password, from the scorpion plague to the scorpion madness to cause death, what eye-catching headlines have come out.
But in fact, the reason behind the scorpion's crazy invasion of human habitation is not as mysterious as they say.
As we all know, Egypt is a country with a lot of desert landforms, and Aswan, located along the Nile, is hot and dry all year round.
People may be hot and dry to live here, but for local scorpions, spiders, snakes and other creatures, they have long been accustomed to such a life.
In the dark crevices of the stones, under the dry trees, humans may inadvertently break the scorpion's small shelter.
Some of the more clever ones will even make some holes for themselves to live, avoid predators and have a nest for hunting and breeding.
But to the surprise of all the Scorpion compatriots, Aswan, which could not rain a drop all year, experienced a series of hailstorms, rainfall, and even floods after a sandstorm this month.
Such anomalous weather phenomena have left many humans unprepared: streets flooded, trees uprooted, and power systems paralyzed.
The water and fire are merciless and terrible.
The fragile and simple houses of the scorpions could not withstand this cruel natural disaster, and they had to relocate the whole country to find the next dry and dark corner as a shelter.
Therefore, the residents clean their homes have become the best choice, the cabinet, under the sofa, the shoes may live in a scorpion, a foot down, either by its sting, or it was trampled into a scorpion cake, this sour ...
And the person who was bitten is not good, in addition to dizziness convulsions and diarrhea, there may be crazy abdominal pain, night sweats, vomiting, originally flooded the home is enough to be upset, and then physical discomfort is really difficult.
According to a spokesperson for the local ministry of health, the hospital has sent more than 3,000 doses of antivenom to cope with more patients that may occur now and in the future.
At the same time, local officials are also busy with the rumor that the scorpion stung 3 people: they were electrocuted by the flood due to electrical leakage instead of being stung by the scorpion.
And in fact, the toxins of the two main scorpions in the Aswan region, the fat-tailed scorpion and the Israeli golden scorpion, are not so deadly to most people according to relatively sound medical measures in the local area.
The fat-tailed scorpion looks like a scorpion as its name suggests, the tail model is very prominent, and the neurotoxin in the tail will cause symptoms such as muscle paralysis, muscle disorders, and respiratory failure near the wound, but as long as it is treated in time, there will be a living head.
The toxin of the Israeli golden scorpion is also very torturous, but its toxin also has a characteristic that it is expensive. A drop the size of a jelly bean costs nearly a thousand yuan.
And a scorpion secretes a loss every day, the difficulty of extraction is no less than the tooth extraction of the tiger's mouth, and the degree of honor is no less than that of gold.
It is said that the reason why the price of this poison is so high is that it contains a variety of precious ingredients that can be used to help develop breakthrough drugs, which have high medical research value, but they are expensive, very expensive.
Well, crazy pills set off to Egypt to raise scorpions, and it was up to him to get rich.
