Résumé
Every year in Mexico, around 300,000 people suffer from accidents related to scorpion stings. Among the scorpion species dangerous to human is Centruroides ornatus, whose venom characterization is described here. From this venom, a total of 114 components were found using chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry analysis. The most abundant ones have molecular masses between 3000-4000 Da and 6000-8000 Da respectively, similar to other known K
