Article Synopsis
- Annually, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq experiences thousands of scorpion stings, prompting a study to document the local scorpion species, their geographical distribution, and sting profiles for 2019-2020.
- Researchers conducted field surveys in 22 locations, collecting 166 scorpions from seven different species, while analyzing clinical data showing 3,726 reported stings, particularly in younger adults during the summer.
- The study aims to raise awareness among the Kurdish community about the presence of harmful scorpions, ultimately helping to reduce the number of sting incidents.
