Don't shoot the translator.  The verb used was "morder" (to bite).  And who
am I to argue with the personal physician of Emperor Carlos V?  Next you'll
be telling me that garlic isn't a remedy for the bites of rabid dogs...

On a more modern note, I see that there are many first-aid and health
websites that use "sting" and "bite" interchangably when referring to the
attack of the scorpion.
