Scorpions in Egypt stung three people to death in the southern city of Aswan after heavy storms brought them into the streets and homes.
Ehab Hanafy, Undersecretary of the Egyptian Ministry of Health in Aswan, revealed that about 450 more people were injured by scorpion stings.
The hail and thunderstorms in the area near the River Nile on Friday were particularly violent. In this manner, scorpions are regularly washed into the streets by heavy rain, while snakes have also been disturbed.

Accordingly, extra doses of anti-venom have been provided to medical centres in villages near mountains and deserts. Hanafy added that doctors have been stopped from providing vaccinations to treat scorpion stings.
People have been urged to stay at home and avoid places with many trees.
Symptoms related to widespread venom effects can include difficulty breathing, muscle twitching and unusual head movements.
Anti-venom is used as a preventative measure before symptoms arise, but can also work once symptoms start to worsen.
