A 7-year-old boy in Brazil was stung by a Brazilian Yellow Scorpion scorpion that was hiding inside his shoe, before dying after suffering 7 heart attacks, according to The Mirror.
7-year-old Luiz Miguel Furtado Barbosa was going on a camping trip with his family on 23 October, and was putting on his shoes when he suddenly felt severe pain in his foot, before screaming.
His mother, 44-year-old Angelita Proenca Furtado, told the media that the family didn’t know what was causing him pain at the time, as the boy’s foot got red and swollen, with the pain getting worse.
They later realised that he got stung by a scorpion, and they found the scorpion inside their home after a 5-minute search.
The boy has then rushed to the hospital where he was sent to the pediatric intensive care unit, where he even regained consciousness at one point.
He opened his eyes and tried to talk to his mother, who then kissed him before he had to be sedated again because he was feeling agitated.
He then suffered 4 heart attacks after being removed from medication, before passing away on 25 October after suffering 3 more heart attacks.
