Scorpions suck

no jerry Sienfeld just wants you to think that.

 

The band Scorpions do really suck bad, if I hear the song Wind of Change one more time...

This one never gets played on radio Veronica, because they're shit as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB8HudfbaTE

I know a guy who go stung by a scorpion in India and had to go to a hospital, I think you can die from getting stung by them. I had one crawl over my chest on a beach in Goa, while I was lying on my back smoking a joint and listening to Goa Gil. Amazing how such a small creature can kill you, fucking poisonous little bastards, why can't nature just evolve without there being things can make you die in extreme pain and agony.

 

Just a recommendation to ease discomfort brought about by the venom. Also helps with bee stings and a lot of other insect bites.

Your call.

 

Certain types of scorpions are in fact, contain very deadly poisons.

Most are not. Including the species of scorpions in the panhandle region of Texas.

In fact, theres only one variety of poisonous American Scorpion.

 

did jerry say that... great minds think alike.

But it is a serious matter. Fruit farmers already have to have onsite bee hives.

 

Oh good---glad your toe is better.I can relate.I was in Florida,and it rained really hard -something like 10 or 12 inches in 24 hours and critters were trying to get up out of the water.The mobile home we were in was about 3 feet off the ground,or we would have flooded out.Anyway,I got up in the dark getting ready to go to work.The only thing laying on the floor was my cut-offs and when I put them on,my brain went --aaaaaaa--why is a lit cig in the ass of my pants!!I jerked them off,turned on the light and smacked the hell out of a medium size scorpion with my boot..I sure don't dress in the dark any more.--------

 

Yeah, that's what it feels like, when you get burned by a cigarette! But anyway, I took the Benadryl because my toe and a tiny bit of my foot started to go numb and it was tripping me out. One of the websites I looked at said that the numbness is a common symptom, and the swelling's REALLY gone down, so I'm not too worried. A little sleepy already, but eh, that's just fun.

 

You guys must have those centipedes with the pincers down there too.Friend of mine got pinched on the sack by one of those in bed.Had to go to the hospital,so he said.Yikes.

 

Oh yeah, I've seen a few of those before, but not many. I see more milipedes than centipedes.

 

I had a giant millipede crawl through my sandal in Goa as well. Saw an orange and black stripey one in Omkareshwar too that made a loud clicking sound when it crawled. That was one mean looking beast, very dangerous.

 

ahhhhhhh one thing we agree on!


Ramona, it sounds BIZARRE to me that you actually got bit by one of those things. I only ever see them in the zoo, pet store and movies........

 

Haha, we have at least 4 or 5 that we catch in the house a year. It can be at any given time, too, they come in when it's cold because it's warm in here and they come in when it's hot because, well, it's cooler in here.

 

OMG, I couldnt survive there I dont think.

 

that sounds horrible! i'm sorry!
was it a big one or just one of those little ones you see out in the country? we have those, and they do sting quite painfully, but they're not supposed to make you sick enough to have to go to a hospital. from what i heard you get a little boo boo on your foot and some cold systems.
so the antihistamines suggested above would probably be helpful.

 

It's really not a big deal.

The rattlesnakes are what'cha gotta watch out for.

 

meep. all we have here is the odd beaver or hummingbird.

 

It was just a little one, and if I got any cold symptoms, I wouldn't know, cuz I have a cold already, lol.

And lode, aaaacccckkk, haaaaaate rattlesnakes.

 

Where in Canada do you live?

I've killed a few rattlesnakes, but I'd be pretty concerned if I came across a bear.

 

I'm in Manitoba. No rattlers here, maybe in Alberta.... Drumheller or so.....

 

If you come across a bear, punch him in the nose and make him your bitch. No bears be messin' with you then.
