Today just before breakfast, scorpion reportedly attacked Matt Hancock and unexpectedly nipped the UK politician, leaving him in pain. The British reality show I'm a celebrity said that Matt did not spot the scorpion, and it was late until that creature bit his finger. Luckily Matt was left with no lasting damage, according to reports.

Soon after Matt started yelping in pain, the medics ran to the camp and checked him. Matt told the medics that the scorpion's sting was more painful than a bee sting. The medics also gave a clean health bill to Matt Hancock.

Whether you take it by surprise or step on the Australian Scorpions, they are not deadly but nasty, as Associate Professor Bryan Fry shared. He mentioned in the interview the after-effects of a scorpion's sting on the human body are pretty trivial. There would be a typical localized pain and swelling on the target part. The pain will resemble the Australian bullet ants or a bee sting when the creature bits.
