Extraction of
Scorpion Venom
Extraction of venom or milking involves a meticulous process conducted by skilled handlers in controlled environments. First, the handler carefully restrains the scorpion, typically using specialized equipment to avoid getting stung.
Next, a gentle electrical stimulation is applied to the scorpion’s venom gland to encourage secretion. Scorpions undergo milking approximately every 25 days, excluding a three-month hibernation period. In total, they can be milked approximately 10 times per year. Using a pipette or similar tool, the venom is then extracted drop by drop from the gland.
Throughout the process, strict safety protocols are followed to minimize the risk of injury to both the handler and the scorpion, ensuring a safe and efficient milking procedure.
