I stepped in the dark walking from my living room to my bedroom in front of the stairs on an older scorpion as it was about two inches long (of course barefoot) felt a needle go thru my toe, I am orginially from California and living in Arizona now, did not anticipate this at all as I have been living there a year and NO SCORPIONS…. Well, my mouth got swollen and cottony (is this a word?) an I applied Ice immediately and the pain seem to subside and go away. A week later I was fine and I decided to put on high heels on and it seemed as if I put pressure on the original sting/bite, and it started swelling up again. Is there a stinger that I needed to pull out? or is it that I just irritated it? I itch horribly and ice is not helping any more…..any suggestions????

Thank you for the information. I’m from West Texas and we live out in the country. We have numberous. almost daily run-ins with scorpions, as they are very difficult to erradicate once they are established. We have been stung on just about every location of the body, including the face) and most of our stings occur during the night, in our bed. For about three years now, we have been checking in and around our bed each night before we crawl in, but inevitably, one of the little boogers will sneak in during the night…and pass by right about the time my husband or I are rolling over. We don’t do much in the way of treatment, other than warm soapy water and a dab of ‘MRX’ (you can find this in beauty salons or suppliers). Recently, we have found that there are some changes in the stings compared to the past few years. Before, by morning, you could barely see the small sting mark, but now, approximately 16-24 hours after the sting, my husband and I both swell and our skin becomes red and itchy around the sting site. Has anyone ever noticed this with scropion stings they have received? We often wonder if they have built an immunity to the ‘dust’ that our Pest Control man uses and somehow we are receiving some of the ‘dust’ or poinson through the scorpion’s venom.

It’s fine that you worked “bite” into the title of the article, that is sufficient to get a google hit. After that you should have made it clear that scorpions deliver their venom by stringing, and not confused the issue by waffling back and forth like a politician between ‘sting” and “bite”. Also, scorpions and other arachnids are not insects.
