Thought I'd throw this up for those keeping "hot" scorps in the USA.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Antivenom Bank, Miami, FL, USA
Phone numbers:
Within the M-D area call.............................911
Outside of the M-D area call........................1-305-596-8576
Non-Emergencies call.................................1-786-331-4444
Email.......................................................mdfrantivenom@miamidade.gov
Procedure for acquiring antivenin (costs of antivenin and transport will be billed to the patient by the hospital or medical facility administering the AV)
1) ID of species
2) Location of envenomation
3) Symptoms
4) Hospital location or transport locale
5) Return phone number or contact information
Antivenin stocked:
Centruroides elegans, limpidus, noxious, exilicauda, sculpturatus, suffusus
Tityus spp.
Parabuthus spp.
L. quinquestriatus
Androctonus australis
Buthus occitanus mardochei
The Antivenom Bank not only carries supplies of scorp antivenin but antivenin for Latrodectus, Phoneutria, many various venomous snakes and even for stonefish envenomation!
From what I understand, they plan on stocking any and all antivenins in the future so, that will even include rarities such as the antivenin for stonefish and B. mardochei!
