Scorpions & centipedes
In Australia, scorpions and centipedes do not cause envenomation. However,
they can cause a painful bite or sting.
First Aid:
- Wash the area with water and keep the area clean and dry.
- Apply ice or cool running water to reduce swelling and relieve pain (do NOT apply ice to the eye).
- Call 13 11 26 or seek medical attention if pain persists
