scorpion

Scorpions are venomous arthropods that primarily live in deserts and tropical regions. They are known for their stinger located at the end of their tail.

Scorpio is one of the twelve zodiac signs, corresponding to those born between late October and mid-November. Many people identify with this zodiac sign.

Since ancient times, scorpions have been considered a symbol of power and danger. In Egyptian mythology, they appear as guardian deities, while in Greek mythology, they are instruments of revenge. Even in modern times, they are used as a symbol of strength and courage, frequently appearing in tattoo and jewelry designs.

Scorpion venom is dangerous, but it is also a very important subject of medical research. Modern medicine is developing new painkillers and anticancer drugs using components extracted from scorpion venom. In particular, scorpion venom has long been used medicinally in traditional Chinese medicine.
