Dog just treed one in the living room. After smushing it I inspected the stinger good and proper.
I would like to know why their stings hurt so much more than any other stinging critter.

I was stung one time. More than once. But this one time I felt a stinging on the top of my foot. I looked down and that b had a hold of my skin with both of its pinchers and that tail was bent over double giving it to me. I think that scared me more than the sting hurt. I was probably around six or so, but I still remember it, and I'm 66.

I just stomp 'em and walk away.

Bark scorpions — the only scorpion species in the U.S. with venom strong enough to cause serious symptoms — are generally about 1.6 to 3 inches (4 to 8 cm) long, including a segmented tail with a stinger that can deliver venom. They're found mainly in the desert Southwest.Oct 3, 2023 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/scorpion-stings/symptoms-causes/syc-20353859there, now allison can be edumacated.

I had one in my shoe that stung me on the little toe then stung me on the big toe before I could untie the shoe and kick off. Hurt for 8 hours and gave me a numb feeling on my tongue. Years later I stepped on one and it stung the arch of my foot. Crazy thing was pain was minimal and only lasted 15 minutes

They hurt like H..l but it doesnt seem to last as long as a red ant or wasp sting. We have them show up in the bathtub or even drop from the ceiling at certain times of the year!
