A 5-year-old girl suffered a serious scorpion sting in the Bedouin diaspora area (the dispersed Bedouin communities in the Negev) near Arad on Tuesday evening, according to Magen David Adom. MDA medics treated her at the Arad station and evacuated her to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva, sedated and ventilated, with visible signs of a sting. Her condition is reported as serious. Scorpion stings are common in southern Israel during summer months; as The Zioneer has reported in recent days, several children and adults have been hospitalized with moderate-to-serious stings in the region, though the girl's current condition is more severe. Further updates on her status are pending.
