Strange how hard it is to sleep when you just tripped over a scorpion on the way upstairs..Every little itch makes you leap out of bed screaming and patting yourself down.
I was stung twice by a scorpion a few years ago. Hurt like a mofo'ing sumbitch! Hit me twice in the index finger. Grabbed some deck ballisters not knowing it was there. No side effects but my finger hurt for a while
4th one I'd found in the house this Summer..Probably Karma for "playing" with the other 3 to see how mad I can make them before they sting my pointy stick...then feeding them to my son's pet turtles.
