Something nailed me!

FMI....What would that indicate?

Whenever a scorpion stings me about 20-30 minutes later I will get a metallic coppery taste in my mouth.
Followed by a period of lethargy.
I figure it is the toxin working its way thru the system.
Wasp stings do seem to do this to me.

I ain't dead, yet.

No metallic taste. I'm still kickin'.

I guess Vmax isn't going to get your 9.

Seriously, if the red spot around the bite/sting isn't worse at this point, you're good.

Not giving up hope just yet

I had a yellow paper wasp get into my shirt. The bastard got me 5 times before I pinched him with my fingers and pulled him out.

Ok, I gotta ask, how often do you get hit by a scorpion?

I have hit 3 times and they were all different. The worst was the one from the translucent ones that dominate in Az.. One crawled up in my towel and I got out of the pool grabbed it and he hit me in the thigh. It was like being stabbed by a knife. It hurt and did so for about 2 weeks. Other than pain I did not have a lot of side effects. Then the other night I got hit by one of the local ones in the shoulder. About like a wasp sting, not much other than some pain for a couple of days and gone.

Used to get scorpion stings several times a year.
The evil things would get into the house at night. Seemed like they were really bad right before a rain.
Walking barefoot I’d step on them.
Got nailed on the hands more than a few times reaching into dark spaces or picking something up off the floor.
Got bit by a brown recluse once. Didn’t hurt much at all at first. The wound got bad after a couple days.
Had to go see the doc on that one. I was lucky as it wasn’t nearly as bad as some folks experience.

Hmm.... I'm starting to think you're not too bright. Normally once bitten twice shy.

Hey at least it wasn't one of these buddy....

I’ve heard their bite is terribly painful.
Nuke from orbit. Only way to be sure.

I have lived in Texas my whole life. Hands down the most creepy thing I've encountered. Seen a lot this year...

Ok. The pic does not open for me. What is it?

Texas Red centipede.

Do you mix it in a sprayer?
How do you apply it?

Do the centipedes bite or sting?

We've seen more than the usual amounts of scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes this year. Most have been dead due to our exterminator.
