• Irritability

  Most of the complications of SE are due to irritability of the central and peripheral nervous systems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This case report describes a 17-month-old girl brought to the emergency department with sudden onset irritability, twitching and sweating. [thepoisonreview.com]

  Intravenous diazepam 0.3 mgm/kg was occasionally used to treat children with severe irritability or convulsion. [annsaudimed.net]

  Hypersensitivity to tactile stimuli e.g. your clothing or bedding become irritating to your skin. Sometimes you also become extremely sensitive to noise. Lack of co-ordination with stiff-legged or ‘drunken’ walking. [health24.com]

  Victims having envenomed by a scorpion suffer a variety of pathologies, including mainly both sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation and central manifestations such as irritability, hyperthermia, vomiting, profuse salivation, tremor, and convulsion [link.springer.com]

In this study, etiological factors and treatments are discussed in a four year old boy that died due to a scorpion sting. [scinapse.io]

Etiology The causes of scorpion envenomation are primarily accidental. Scorpions are shy creatures and only sting if threatened, cornered, or disturbed (eg, being sat or stepped upon). [emedicine.medscape.com]
