Interesting that I was born and raised, and still live in southern Arizona. And I've never seen a live scorpion. Never in my house, or outside my house, or out in the desert. But I probably just now jinxed that by saying it... [emoji23]
Wow that's amazing. I was visiting my friend once and the neighbor lady got stung. The thing had survived the dry within her jeans. Got stung on her inner thigh when she put them on, yikes. She was in pain about 3 days. I check the bed, wont put my suitcase and stuff on the floor and am cautious when sitting on patio furniture. My friend has only had about 3 in her house but sees them in her sheds.
Yes, you did jinx yourself so keep an eye out. The little ones that are clear looking are the worse and harder to see.

Now that is why they really scare me. The potential of so much damage and pain. So glad you are okay now.

Actually, I would suggest an RPG launcher. More distance, and faster. They are MUCH faster than torts, you know. [emoji2][emoji889]Nope.... Not happening. I'd have to break out the heavy artillery.... Like a blow torch. Might burn the house down, but the scorpion would be gone

It gets much colder in Tucson in winter than here...I wonder if that makes a difference?

Oh boy...and I thought my stomach was bad!
One of the places they like is dark, close places, like snuggled between layers of folded towels, clothes, underwear, etc. So keep checking your suitcase, and anything folded.
I have seen one run in my sliding door when I let my dogs in.
Fry for 15 seconds . Sprinkle salt and pepper

Thank you. I was really sick for about a week. I probably had a bad reaction because I have rheumatoid arthritis, and the meds I take suppress my immune system. I have to be careful.

Oh no thank you. Maybe if that was the only thing available and I have had no food for a good week or two and there was absolutely nothing to eat (that includes those worms that people like to eat as well).
if you think about it, scorpions are just crabs with sting.
and they do tastes like little crabs.

Really. Mmm well maybe if did not look like a scorpion I might try it.
solution : chop off the tails then cook. Now they are almost crabs
