Tityus obscurus is the main scorpion responsible for accidents in the Amazon region. Tityus obscurus, similar to T. serrulatus venom, exerted edematogenic activity in mice. Tityus obscurus venom caused hemorrhagic patches in the lung of rats. Both nociceptive and lethal activities of T. obscurus venom were lower than those caused by T. serrulatus venom in mice.
