I live in Tempe, having just moved here from Phoenix. Probably going to use a flame thrower on the bed before getting in, just to make sure tonight.

Worst fear!

My aunt had a new construction here when I was a kid and they had scorpions in the house. Just a battle you fight for disturbing them. I need to remember they exist here. Just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean they aren't here!

I don't think I would sleep for a long long time if that happened to me.

Well... On a positive note this makes me feel a lot better about the critters we have here in Canada... Maybe I really am a baby freaking out over spiders when you're over there dealing with scorpions and tarantulas and shxt....????????

That's a scorpion..

I'm in Arizona too... So I feel your pain. Where in AZ are you? Hopefully you can get rid of them!

The ones in west Texas like this around where I used to live were "harmless" it just felt like you stuck what ever got stung into a fire for about 30 mins lol.

HELL NO

Omg??? I showed my dh and he glanced real quick and asked why there was an iud laying on that bed hahahhaha! Hope it stops hurting soon.

I got stung and just put ointment on it and it's fine and healed now

Living in Canada has its perks!
I'd literally die.

Haha
here you ladies are, freaking out, and I'm just here thinking, I can't wait till I get, my pet scorpion.

Still that's not good.

Wash area with soap and water, ice 10 min take off 10 min an repeat, take Tylenol and benadryl. Watch for neuro signs if nothing UR good. Happened to me last week.

I have nothing to offer but this:

Scorpions are like lobsters and nightmares combined...

Oh my gosh!! ??

That fuqken hurts i was stung by one at 4 years of age and still remember..

I'm fine! I slept with the lights on last night though and kept waking up every couple hours due to being paranoid lol.
