You know what I can't stand
Is when I put on a shirt and I feel this excruciating fire like pain in my back. Then out from my shirt falls one of those fucking scorpions. The next four or five hours I am in pain and I just watch my skin around my back reacting to the poison as it makes its way around my abdomen. It kind of peters out as it gets to my chest and the pain lessens. I hate that!

Scorpions!!?
Ouch!
Never seen one for real. So never been stung by one.
I think I can say I'd hate it too!
Yes, they have bark scorpions out here. To be perfectly honest with you I have not been bitten by one but when you go down in elevation around here that is where they live. I was talking to some people about them and that's what they said happened when they were stung by them. I have some serious issues with scorpions.
Thank you for the support and the encouragement, Laura.
Hey!!!! Why did you delete your last post???
Makes me glad to be a Northerner. Did get bit once by a black widow, though. 48 hours of the most excruciating pain of my life. Turns out their venom causes muscle seizure, which can lead to asphyxiation. Two solid days of fighting for breath made me a little more cautious about where I dropped my backpack.
Oh wait. You ARE a nortwoods boy, aren't you? My bad.
