Just in case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put them there and they stay very still, because it is a humid and dark environment, like the ones in which they live,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>There was one time when he threw the hat at a hen, to frighten it away, without remembering that the animal was there. When he picked it up and put it on, the scorpion, furious due to the shaking, stung him in the middle of the head: \u201cThat time it hurt as never before, but afterwards all my ailments went away for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Luis doesn\u2019t know which properties of the venom make it good for curing, but he affirms that it is good for muscular aches and pains and the inflammation of the articulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou place it where it hurts, be it the knee, the elbow, the arm, the waist, and as soon as the pain from the sting goes away, you will feel relief. The only part you have to be careful with is the jugular, because it can be dangerous close to that area,\u201d he affirms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always placed two bees on the hip, on top of the buttocks, for the arthritis, before I started using scorpions. My brother Pedro one time almost couldn\u2019t walk and he cured himself with them. He used to take off his shirt close to the beehives so they would sting him, and that\u2019s how he got better.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_89898\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89898\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/alacr\u00e1n-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89898\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/alacr\u00e1n-05.jpg\" alt=\"Jos\u00e9 Luis always runs around with a scorpion inside his hat.

They can be female or male, it doesn\u2019t matter. That\u2019s why he has been breeding them for a decade in a corner of the family farm, where he has always worked.<\/p>\n<p>Every morning when I go out, I collect one of them and take it with me under my hat, and in the evening, when I come home, I set it loose. Sometimes my wrist hurts, and as soon as I make it sting me, I can continue cutting the weeds as if nothing had happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least twice a month Jos\u00e9 Luis applies a dose of this rare \u201cpainkiller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day I told the family doctor that I went to see her so she would tell me what was wrong with me, but that I applied the medicine,\u201d he tells us.<\/p>\n<p>For Dr. Jorge Hern\u00e1ndez, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, the explanation could be that the scorpion \u201cinjections\u201d causes in Jos\u00e9 Luis a neurological dissociation of pain, or that the animal\u2019s toxin produces the analgesia in that zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s something that would have to be studied, with a broader sample of patients, before reaching a definitive opinion,\u201d he says. However, he recognizes that it\u2019s not the first time that he has had references of similar cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have already been other persons who affirm having felt relief after a bee sting and with the venom from some type of toad, but they are still therapies that have not been demonstrated and that many people would surely reject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vidatox-30 CH is produced in Cuba. It is a homeopathic medicine against cancer whose active principle is the venom of the blue scorpion (<em>Rophalurus junceus<\/em>), endemic to the island.<\/p>\n<p>Developed in Cienfuegos and endorsed by the Center for the State Control of Medicine, Medical Equipment and Devices (CECMED), the Vidatox-30 CH is used to improve the quality of life of cancer patients because of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory character. In addition, it has been used in geriatric patients complaining of aches and pains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_89895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89895\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/alacr\u00e1n-08-768x498.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89895\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/alacr\u00e1n-08-768x498.jpg\" alt=\"At least twice a month Jos\u00e9 Luis applies a dose of this painful \u201cpainkiller.\u201d Photo: Ronald Su\u00e1rez.\" width=\"768\" height=\"498\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-89895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At least twice a month Jos\u00e9 Luis applies a dose of this painful \u201cpainkiller.\u201d Photo: Ronald Su\u00e1rez.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although according to medical literature the scorpion venom is a powerful neurotoxin, capable of causing from a simple inflammation to acute poisoning, and even the failure of some organs, this 71-year-old farmer says that \u2013 at least in the case of the species that exist in the zone where he lives \u2013 \u201cit all depends on the person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll medicines have their contraindications.
