Suck the poison out to cure a scorpion sting on the Oregon Trail.

Explanation:

The Oregon trail throughout the 1800s can be a really dangerous place. Scorpion stings were common and were treated in a very few other ways. Most often, associate degree incision was created at the sting site and therefore the poison was allowed to empty from the wound or sucked out, looking at the severity of the sting.

It would most likely be treated with incision and emptying to get rid of the venom; elevation, symptomatic management, rest, trauma besides application of a herbal poultice.

Answer:

The scorpion stings on the Oregon trail used to be cured by pouring alcohol on them.

Explanation:

There were several methods to cure the stings and bites of venomous animals back in 1800, the principal one was the use of whiskey or rum on the wound, there were other methods that were not as popular as the alcohol one, they also used to put on some homeopathic remedies and to tie a piece of fabric so they prevent the venom from spreading to other parts of the body.
