Well, I’m not a physician or anything, but I think the symptoms are swelling of the face and around the eyes, sometimes you may get a very large area of your body numb, difficulty breathing among other side effects. I’m just taking a guess, but If you google allergic reactions it’ll probably give you a list. I don’t know the chances of being allergic either, but I don’t think there have been any reports on people who have been stung and were allergic.

You can probably find pictures of people w/ allergic reactions to other types of venom on google though.

I heard somewhere if you are allergic to bees or wasps you have a much higher chance of being allergic to scorpions, if you are not allergic to bees or wasps you are not likely to be allergic to scorpions? (am not sure if its true or not but it makes sense).
