thank-you user for your query.
I understand your concern.
Ask your wife not to panic and take her to any trauma centre near you. Tie a tourniquet above the scorpion bite or at forearm as it will stop the progression of venom of scorpion.
Don't panic and kindly rush to nearest trauma centre.
Your wife will be fine soon.
god bless
