Years ago was picking up rocks at our place in San Antonio and was stung by 2 scorpions on my hand. Ran around hollering profane words and then sat down figuring I was going to die very soon.

Father, the doctor, walks over and tells me to get a beer and get back to work. Sympathy was not part of him.

Bit on the rear a couple of times in my youth while fishing the rocks at the Lake Worth dam by lantern light. Good times!

Check your bath towels before drying off. Got it once on the leg and once on the chest, there was no third time.

A number of years ago, was stung three times upper/mid thigh before I could get out of my chair. Metallic taste in mouth for about 6 months afterwards. I use products from do my own pest control and have fixed that problem. Now, when I see a scorpion outside or, in the house, they are doing the one legged circle of death--heeheehee

I've never seen one here but used to live roughly 5-6 miles from here growing up and we had them in the house all the time. Never been stung by one.

I've been stung by an asp though ... worst pain ever.


Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

You know what happens when you put a scorpion in a microwave?

Nothing. Doesn’t phase them.

Sometimes you just gotta man up and take the pain.

I e been stung several times by these little brown scorpions we have out here. It burns like heck for about. Minute then goes away. Doesn’t even leave a whelp. Wasp stings are a lot worse to me.


Retirement best job ever.

We lived in El Salvador back in the sixties. The house had a porous lava rock wall in the front hall. We never saw scorpions during the day, but at night if you hit that wall with a UV light it'd be alive with them. None of us ever got stung, but that hallway wall always got a wide berth at night.
