Article Synopsis
- Scorpion envenomation cases in Santa Catarina, Brazil, particularly from the Tityus serrulatus species, have surged over 500% despite the species not being endemic to the area.
- A study from 2014 to 2021 analyzed 112 envenomation cases, primarily affecting men aged 20-39, occurring mostly in urban settings, with the majority classified as mild.
- The rise in cases suggests T. serrulatus may have been transported into urban areas where they thrive due to abundant food, shelter, and fewer natural predators.
