It was not like a bee or scorpion sting. Initially kind of hot, similar to my local scorps, but you can feel it moving up your hand, and it comes in waves. It will subside, then return, weaker than before. It hurt worse in the morning, finger was sore and tender. Not bad, but I would say worse then any wasp or "weaker" scorp venom. With them, its pretty much over after ten minutes or so. All of this was just my particular reaction, people react differently. Some folks here think the scorpions are extremely painful. I find them..negligable. I'd rather be hit by them, or a wasp, then my pulchra, to be honest. Wasnt too bad, but wasnt too fun either. Oh btw, the finger was sore for a few hrs but went away when I started my day. Now you can barely see the two little holes, I have antibiotic cream plugging them up. No infection.</p></blockquote><p></p>
