Are you looking for a career change? In this economy, it's essential to be flexible and open to new opportunities. The woman pictured above is working on a scorpion farm featured on the TikTok account appropriately named King Scorpion.
Why would you farm scorpions? I'm glad that you asked. A Reuters article from 2022 describes this thriving industry. Scorpion production is necessary to generate scorpion venom, which is milked. The milking process is a bit different from that of a cow or goat. The product is more valuable, too. A liter of scorpion venom can be worth $10 million. That's because it's used in the production of antibiotics, painkillers, and cosmetics.
Yup: people put this scorpion venom into their bodies.
