[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 53034, member: 4086"] I've been tagged by bark scorpions in South Texas many times, I've always wondered if new world Ts were similar...it's worse then a bee sting, enough to make you utter some unkind words, but not unbearable. I pick them up when they come in my house, but you get stung when you stick your hands under the lip of something to lift it, or when they crawl in your boots at night. People say they're very defensive, but it's only when you are crushing them on accident. I rolled my shoulder onto one in bed one night..he must have been stinging for awhile before the heat hit me and I woke up...in the morning my lips were numb and I was slightly dizzy, lmao. I must have gotten ALL of his venom. Unfortunately it startled me out of a deep sleep...he didn't make it. I regret that. But I'm thinking its probably comparable to some NW bites. Old world, I admit I'm curious how much it hurts, and how much people are exaggerating, or how much the experience would differ for me..but not THAT curious :) [/QUOTE]
