Thousands of scorpions swarm under the rocks of Mohammad Sherzad's "farm" north of Kabul. Scorpion venom can be used in various medical products and is the most expensive liquid in the world.

Nope just scorpion spunk apparently . Glad they didn't show him milking one
There is a sickness in me that wants an episode where Mr. Rogers visits a scorpion farmer in Afghanistan.
Right im off to buy a large tank and some scorpions and some gloves!
Dude, its Afghanistan - if anyone offers you $400 for anything, you take it
I remenber as a kid (10 years old) in Kabul in the late 50th we would find the same scorpions runing on our terasse in the susnshine. We were not scared even if we knew the venon was painful, it was just a matter of avoiding them.
Afghan man dies from repeated scorpion stings. Film at eleven.
0:35 "10-12 times lower than on international markets"? I hope he is able to facilitate some way to sell of his product in international markets. The pharmaceutical industry is a billion dollar industry. He deserves to get the right price.
Wow never knew you could “milk a scorpion”

I doubt they are being milked. Probably just killed. 😢

Well, he definately has balls of steel! Handling his scorpions with bare hands is brave or just stupid.

Likely they aren't aggressive when treated with care, or he wouldn't do it. That, or he's been bitten so many times that the poison has little to no effect. Just guesses, but they seem reasonable.
He is "THE SCORPION KING"😇
