Carmex is great stuff, btw. We've used it for years on ant bites. And that's not even its advertised function: it's a lip balm!
Caveat: if you are allergic, I'm pretty sure Carmex won't help. Use the EpiPen or whatever first, then the carmex.

Thanks for the tip on using Carmex! I will have to buy some, we kill scorpions all the time in our house.
By the way, ammonia works on bee / wasp stings so it might work on scorpion stings if you apply it right way.
