It is necessary to wash live scorpions before soaking in wine, but the temperature of the water used to wash scorpions is very important. Many people think that hot water is good for cleaning and high-temperature disinfection, but this is wrong. If the water temperature is too high, it will not only directly burn the scorpion, but also stimulate the scorpion to directly discharge scorpion venom, and the medicinal value of the scorpion will be reduced after the scorpion venom is discharged. The water temperature of about 25℃ can not only clean scorpions quickly, but also ensure that scorpions do not die and discharge scorpion venom. Scorpions can be soaked in wine after being cleaned and dried a little.

Hot water above 40℃ will not only stimulate scorpions to discharge scorpion venom directly, but also lead to death; Of course, soaking scorpions in cold water below 10℃ will make scorpions go to sleep quickly, and will not stimulate scorpions to discharge scorpion venom, but it will take a long time to clean them up, which will lead to the death of scorpions due to lack of oxygen.
