Scorpions and their Venom

Nature volume 110, page 250 (1922)Cite this article

Abstract

PHYSALIA in “Animaux Venimeux,” p. 252, says that in all venomous animals their immunity to their own venom is limited, and announces that in an experiment a scorpion, Bulteus australis, was killed by an injection of the same venom as its own. I should like to add further observations from personal experience, bearing on this very interesting subject.
