• In Aswan, Egypt, recent inclement weather -- including "vicious rain, dust storms and snow" -- has forced hordes of scorpions from their usual hiding places and into homes and streets.
BBC News reported that three people have died so far from scorpion stings, and 450 have been injured.
The injured are being treated with antivenom.
Health officials have even had to recruit doctors who were on vacation to help with the influx of patients. [NPR, 11/14/2021]
