    I just got stung by a bark scorpion

    I woke up about an hour ago, slipped on some shorts and a jersey to run down stairs and make some coffee. I was having a smoke in the garage while the coffee was brewing. I go to the kitchen to pour myself a cup as I feel like someone is putting out a cigarette on my left side of my abdomen. I lift my shirt up and there is a 3 inch long scorpion. I screamed like a little girl and tried to flick it off. I think it only got me once and I killed it.

    I looked online and it's a bark scorpion (the worst) but really not a whole lot I can do, compress the sting with some ice and take an aspirin, and pretty much be ready for a 20 - 30 hour ride of dizziness, numbness and aggravation.

    What a way to start the week..

            Did you twitter it when it happened?

            Just kidding doll, that sucks! I've been stung a number of time by bees and wasps but never by a scorpion, although i had a few close calls with centipedes when growing up in Hawaii. Hope your arm feels better soon, just keep the ice on it and take some antihistamines for the reaction and Motrin for the swelling.

              That sucks, good luck. Maybe it won't be as bad as you are expecting.

                  That sucks man. I moved up to the north side of town about a year ago and it is scorpion infested. As I was taking a shower last night I saw one float by in the water. I am calling a pest control place today to come into my house, don't want to chance one of my kids getting stung, it would be potentially deadly to them. Hope your recovery is as good as it can be.

                      it'd be a good idea to keep the phone nearby in case you go into anaphylactic shock (or however the heck you spell that)

                                  get well soon, that always pisses me off when an insect attacks me for no good reason, got stung by a huge wasp a little while ago and I think some kind of recluse type spider got my foot a few months ago (not the really bad kind, but enough that there is still a bit of a sore on my foot 3 months later)

                                  had some close calls with black widows too recently, went to pick something up and stopped the motion of my hand an inch or two away from one that was sitting in a small web right beside it, and almost put my leg into one that was sitting on a web close to the ground beside a wall..... definitely do not need the week long flu that comes with getting bit by a black widow

                                    local exterminators like terminex dont do shit for scorpions. Go down to your local bug and weed mart and pick up a bottle of cy kick. Now that shit works and works on contact.

                                          Damn. We had some exterminators stop by the house soliciting business 3 weeks ago. We just moved here last Oct. They told me that the baby Scorpions were hatching and there would be a lot of activity.

                                          I hired them on the spot. Wasn't sure if I needed 'em or not, but now I'm glad I did!

                                              I wouldnt feel comfortable with an exterminator that told me scorpions were "hatching"

                                                  As long as its a big one you're good. it's the little ones you have to watch out for. They cant control the poison and they let loose while the big guys just give you enough and then try to find safety.

                                                  The first one I found in my house I called our bug guy and he gave me a blacklight to find them at night. They glow a bright neon yellow under the blacklight (very freaky). I go out in the backyard about once a month and find 10+. Scary thing is they say for every one you find, 10 more you dont.

                                                      Ive been nailed more times than I can count by those fuckers....

                                                      when I was a kid growing up here in the desert we used to catch them all the time.... along with black widows and rattle snakes...

                                                      never been nailed by a snake but spiders and scorpions I have been nailed many many times by...

                                                          Thankfully, scorpion bites and other nasty bug attacks are not too common here (UK).

                                                          This like the little fucker that got you?



                                                          I hope you`re feeling better soon mate.

                                                            there was a special on one of the major networks a few years ago, it was all about "pain" and classifying pain in different categories.
                                                            the broadcaster actually subjected himself to get bitten/stung by bees, spiders and scorpions. as i recall scorpion was the most painful of all of them..

                                                                Yeah I figured as much, just messing with you.

                                                                Truthfully though I have never seen any positive results from local exterminators. Finally I took it upon myself to try and resolve the issue.

                                                                First thing I did was remove all electrical plate covers and filled around the box with some of that expanding, insulating foam. Did the same with all of the celing fans. Went around the exterior of the house caulking any cracks and crevices.

                                                                Then I spread diatomaceous earth around the perimeter of the block wall. Then I spray cy kick around the perimeter of the house.

                                                                Bit of a over kill but the results have been fantastic.

I can't seem to sit still for too long, if I sit for 15 mins the pain seems to get worse, so I get up and walk around a bit and then sit down for a bit again, feel pretty restless... annoying as hell.

                                                                              Just a quick to everyone though. Scorpions are arachnids, not insects. Also, taxonomically, within the Class Insecta which insects are members of [Spiders and Scorpions are in the Class Arachnida] there is an Order named Hemiptera which contains those insects called "True Bugs". I hope that serves as a bit of a disambiguation.

                                                                              I don't expect everyone to share my interest in insects, but it is pertinent to note that humans would not be able to survive on Earth without them.

I have a LED ultraviolet flashlight, I just wait till dark and me and my kid go 'hunting' - they glow bright bluish-green when the blacklight hits them, they are easy to spot.

                                                                                                    There are so many in the back yard, one or two are going to find their way into the house sooner or later. Lots of palm trees here and everyone in my neighborhood has nice yards with sprinkler systems running every night, makes a nice habitat for the scorpions to live in and hunt for other bugs.
