What Makes the Bark Scorpion Potentially Deadly?

[tribdog]

I just found a scorpion in my apartment. It was just kicking back on the tile in the bathroom. good thing I saw it because I've been bare foot all day. They say that the bark scorpion can be deadly, but I have been stung by one before and I didn't even come close to dying. I didn't even feel sick. It was painful and it hurt for a few days, but I never considered it life threatening.

You're getting quite a collection of pets these days. Do you still have the puppy?

Shake your shoes out in the morning. They like to spend the cooler nights in a warmer place. They get pretty fussy if you try and stick your foot in before they decide to roll out of their beds.

I used to have a pet scorpion. She was an emperor though...

I watched a show on scorpions a while ago. They are just about the most disagreeable animals on the planet. There is nothing nice about them and I think they attempt to kill and eat every single animal they come into contact with. Including their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, children, cousins, neighbors, etc.

I hear that they sometimes go crazy and kill themselves too.

Apparently they do that if you give them alcohol, or put it on their back. I have never tested this though, seems cruel.
