The medicinal value of scorpion is very high, and there are more than 100 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions made from scorpion. Scorpion is an important raw material for more than 30 kinds of Chinese patent medicines, such as Ginseng Zaizao Pill, Dahuoluo Pill, Qizhen Pill, Baoan Lingdan, Zheng Qian Powder, etc. And it is an animal medicine commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. Especially in recent years, it has been found that scorpion is effective in treating difficult diseases, such as vasculitis, thromboembolism, etc. Scorpion venom can treat cardiovascular diseases, various tumors, trigeminal neuralgia and so on. These applications greatly increase the demand for scorpions. In addition to medicine, scorpions can also be made into nourishing food. With the progress of social material civilization, scorpions, as a good product for treatment and health care, have attracted much attention. Scorpion wine, canned scorpions, quick-frozen scorpions and scorpion powder health products have come out one after another, and "fried scorpions" have appeared in many banquets. In addition, with the development of medicine, the function of scorpion venom is widely recognized. Scorpion venom is more expensive than gold, about 6.5438+0.5 million yuan per kilogram. 65,438+/kloc-0,000 adult scorpions can extract 480 grams of venom every year, so the medicinal value of scorpion venom is much higher than that of scorpion itself. For many years, the market supply of scorpions mainly depended on wild catching. However, with the extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the ecological environment of wild scorpions has been destroyed, the number of natural populations has dropped sharply, and the market is in short supply. At present, the national output can only meet the demand of about 30%, and the market price has risen steadily.
