   Scorpions are deadly period, never again will I see a scorpion and not kill it. One Saturday morning in the middle of summer, I woke up to go eat knowing there has to be scorpions around because the night before we had killed like 3. When I had gone back upstairs I put on my jeans when instantly I felt something sharp poke me. I panicked because I knew I had to be an insect biting me or stinging me. When I had taken off my pants I saw a scorpion fall out as I panicked more. I ran downstairs holding my leg yelling at mom saying “A SCORPION , A SCORPION!!!!!” She had grabbed a carton of milk because she read that it helps slow down the venom. She also read that messaging the area packs down the venom. Moral of the story is that the internet can come in clutch .

   It’s the little ones you wanna worry about , packed with the deadliest venom because they don’t know how to control it. Just looking at them makes me mad, knowing that one of those crawled into my pants and stung me. I will never look at these things the same EVER AGAIN. Giving me another reason to love winter , because if its summer bringing these critters out then I don’t like it. My leg is fine, but that whole day I felt drowsey and my leg feeling like its going to fall off. Watch out for these things, always shake out your shoe and stay safe.
