A Scorpion Just Stung Me in the Foot (Pics)

[FTVGirls]

Fucking hey, I'm just sitting here working on the computer, doing an FTV coverpage in photoshop, when ouch I felt like someone stuck a pin in my foot. Then I look down a fucking scorpion is just sitting there smiling. I captured it, put it in one of my microdrive casings. I think I'll leave the fucker there.

My foot is tingling, will probably be partially numb for a couple of days. Doesn't hurt no more than a bee sting though, maybe less.

[MrIzzz]

"rock you like a hurricane"!!!!!!!!!




wow dude, i hope your alright

[Screaming]

leave his ass there, hope your foot gets better

[Sosa]

damn, that would hurt. Anything serious happen from those ones?

[chupachups]

[Illicit]

holy shit ! glad we dont have them things around here

[nofx]

I hope your foot gets better but please let him go outside

At my house in California I once found 2 scorpions on our 2nd floor crawling right near the master bedroom.

One of my German Shepherds got one of the fuckers and he was playing with it in his mouth, droping it and picking it up again.

I think he sensed it would hurt us and was doing all he could to protect us.

He started foaming and we rushed him to the Vets and they gave him a shot and he was ok, just a bit stumbly.

Can you imagine if one of those had crawled in the bed.



Always let your dogs sleep with you.

Well I'm kind of distracted and obsessed with this thing now, I videotaped it. Here's a movie clip of it lol.

SCORPION VIDEO

My foot is just tingly and numb, I doubt anything worse will happen.

[European Lee]

Stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds... the scorpion that is not your foot

Regards,

Lee

[Babagirls]

just because it stung you doesnt mean you have the right to fuckin torture it!! (refering to the video)



let it go!

[Zerof8]

ROFL!!! that was a pretty funny video. Damn he isnt very big though. When I lived in Scottsdale I saw a rattle snake once. I also ate rattle snake at Rawhide!!!

According to that page and from the images, looks like you were stung by a Bark Scorpion if you're in Arizona, New Mexico or the Cali side of the Colorado river.

Call the poison control center

Just precautionary - he looks like a big boy (DOWN LEE!) so I doubt it will effect him too badly, but the symptoms on a few sites I found can be delayed, so best to let him know so he can call them and be sure.

[kinkage]

Dip that little fucker in ether and then shalack his ass and put him on display in your house.

[zzgundamnzz]

Shouldn't you be seeing the doctor?

I know most scorpions leave some kind of venom...

[FTVGirls]

For my 'real job' a DMD (Ie. Dentist), I've kept abreast of general medical first aid issues for AZ, whether its scorpions, west nile, or anthrax. As long as I have no history of allergies to bee stings etc... Its just an inconvenience. Brown scorpions -- they hurt, but they don't do any real damage. Just make you numb for several days, and give you a bit of a headache.

Gotta finish editing the Paola FTV content lol.

[lagwagon]

calling you now bro, damn!

[Danny Dukes]

Damn that sucks Rob sorry to hear that. Hey when you sending me some pictures of my girly you shot yesterday?

Oh yeah watch out for the queers, they seem to be into you and I know you don't swing that way

[Kimmykim]

Ha! You're just as bad as my son was when we lived there when he'd catch them, especially if he got stung!

It looks a little too big and too light to be bark, but with the numbness it might be.

If you've got some meat tenderizer in the house, wet the sting a little bit and put a paste of that on it. It will draw out the poison faster. You can also use tobacco.

I'd stick the little guy in the freezer too, it's fucking amazing how they can be frozen for like six months and still come back to sting you again ;)

[Jason]

after seeing our first scorpion this last Sunday... I had the Desert Seal guy out here the very next morning..

dude.. sorry to hear that..

fuck them little bastards.

you should see my wife call it "fuckers" is priceless.. hahaha.. she is a cali girl forever!!!

Do they hibernate? Are there black scorpions in Arizona?

[sickkittens]

I will report you to PETA if you leave it there.

I have a little pet, 'Mr Toad' a horned toad lizard who hangs around the house... usually takes care of smaller guys but not big scorps.
I rescued it from my swimming pool (drowning) and it crept up my shoulder, and been around the house ever since. Does a good job of eating creepy crawlies.

"For my 'real job' a DMD (Ie. Dentist)"

So you can get the good pills to stop the pain right?

[Holly]

We have those little bastards here, too. They hurt worse than wasps/bees, to me.

[fr8]

Ive heard of people dying from a scorpion sting. Id at least go to the doctor and get it checked.

[ProjectNaked]

Looks sweet! Get a goldfish tank and keep it on your desk!

[Easton]

goddam it! now you're gonna have me all freaked out too!

i don't think i'd know one if i saw one, so thanks for the pics... hope you bounce back ok from this

one of the few drawbacks of living in AZ

[enter »]

OK, I'm in Phoenix and you have me sitting with my feet up and looking under my desk every 30 seconds.

[Elli]

You better post tomorrow so we know you're still alive.

same here... LOL

i just need to tell myself that happened in PHX and i'm in North Scottsdale...

[FTVGirls]

North Scottdale is even more prone to Scorps. Especially the newly built areas near the mountains. Yeah, I'm still alive, actually the pain is now gone, just some numbness, not too bad.

The scorpion is also doing well, occasionally snapping & attacking the casing its in.

Maybe I'll bring it with me when I meet up with Jeff from ccbill tomorrow lol

[Babagirls]

what kind of camera do you have? took some nice pics!

[wdsguy]

damn dude where do u live, never get spiders here

[nap]

that is a nice sized scorpion

They are amazing, they're like natures most perfect predator. If you mean the black ones like in Mexico that are poisonous, no. There are something like 45 varieties in Az, with the bark scorpion being the only one that's really any danger at all unless you are allergic to them.

Symptoms from the bark are numbness in the affected areas and the more you use the limb the further up it goes -- for instance if you are stung on the hand and you wave the arm around you might get numb up to your face.

Small children and old or sick people can be in danger from them, but a healthy adult without an allergy usually is fine in a day or so except for some lingering tenderness at the sting.

If you've got crickets at your house in Az, you do not have scorpions, since that's their favorite food. They like to hide and wait on their prey in cooler, dark areas but sometimes they do come out. Exterminators usually use a powder to kill them, after they walk across it they not only die but will track it back to the nest if there is one and the babies will die as well.

I don't live in Az any more, but when I did, McDowell Mtn Ranch was the place I had the most of them, followed by Paradise Valley. When I lived at 44th and Camelback I never saw another one, mostly because that area is older and doesnt have huge acreage for each home like PV does.

I've got a metal scorpion sculpture in my living room now and the stinger catches people that walk by on their pants leg if they aren't careful ;)

[NiTe-HaWk]

Glad I don't have those here in Wisconsin. That would freak me out to see that on my foot. I thought they were bigger though.

[TurboTrucker]

Been here for several years and I've never even seen one.
