Yes even I never thought scorpion bite can be this bad but then realized the scorpion stayed and lived in the forest leading a natural life, so maybe it would have been that powerful to even kill a person by its bite and sting. Scorpion usually catches a person with a bite, positions and then stings with the tail. So the bite itself will be venom, sting from tail can easily kill a person. It is very aggressive that when it stings, the tail can even get damaged and the scorpion also takes few months to recover from a broken tail.

Oh you have been to ShabariMala. Thats nice. Maybe you should try Velliangiri once. It will be an awesome experience.
