General Discussion / Re: scorpions
« on: July 31, 2016, 02:15:31 am »A colleague at work in Cyprus put his hand in a cupboard to draw out some cables and instead contacted a very small green scorpion. He never knew any pain like it, and was rushed to hospital with a hugely swelled arm. He recovered, and I saw him some time afterwards in a bar. So you can survive this - with medical aid!
Different types of scorpions vary widely in their levels of venom. Some are quite deadly, some not at all.
