She became dizzy, she said, and almost lost consciousness from the agonizing pain.

While painful, scorpion stings are rarely fatal, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Symptoms include swelling, muscle twitching, drooling, sweating, nausea, fast heart rate, and restlessness.

A spokesperson for Zara was unavailable to speak to The Post Saturday, but told The Sun it “deeply regrets what happened and confirms that it is in direct contact with the customer, providing all necessary assistance.

“We take this case very seriously and are working to ensure that all appropriate preventative measures are taken,” the statement said.
