The Egyptian Tomb of Teti Neb Fu has been discovered. His titles include : chief palace doctor, chief dentist, director of medicinal plants and priest and magician of the goddess Serket. Seket was half-Human, half Scorpion, and Teti Ned Fu would have been in charge of conjuring over people with scorpion sting. He was likely the physician to Sixth Dynasty Pharaoh Pepi II Neferkare (r. ca. 2278 B.C. – ca. 2212 B.C.)

Interesting how pantheons were built around the concerns of society, like appealing to the gods for flood prevention. Snakes and venomous creatures must have been a big problem.
