Actually, unless you show up to the hospital WITH the scorpion that stung you and actually witnessed the sting, they won't even consider giving you the antivenom because if you WEREN:T stung by a scorpion and get the antivenom then there could be detrimental health effects. I don't know what those would be, but I'm just saying...<br /><br />loving your adventures!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022074598997410578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29584311.post-13855926755229013572009-11-24T18:57:46.270-08:002009-11-24T18:57:46.270-08:00I didn't know you were posting to the blog.

What a fantastic gift you are giving them!<br /><br />Yeah, I hate scorpions with a passion, and even Lorin knows to shake her shoes out before putting them on. (Also, shake your clothes, towels, bedding, etc. And be especially careful around areas with water.) Nathan was stung by a bark scorpion last year and while his leg hurt for a couple of hours, poison control said he didn't have to go to the hospital unless he started having nervous system effects. Use a black light at night to see them and kill them.lawtrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426508800392497407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29584311.post-82517881272926137742009-11-22T08:01:49.782-08:002009-11-22T08:01:49.782-08:00Have loved all your stories so far.
