Problems Caused by Scorpions
Scorpions are not aggressive but will raise their pinchers and tail in an attempt to scare away anything that bothers them. They will strike if touched or accidentally grabbed. A venom, produced by a pair of glands located near the end of the tail, is injected by the stinger. The sensation is a sharp pain that usually lasts for 15 to 20 minutes. Reactions can vary depending on age or sensitivity of the individual and the amount venom injected. Persons stung during early March or April by scorpions just emerging from their winter hiding places may have pain that lasts for several hours, plus a general numbness in the area.
Scorpions are very distinctive arthropods. Scorpions are arachnids and have eight legs like their cousins – spiders, mites, and ticks. They look a bit like small lobsters, equipped with a pair of pincers and a thin, segmented tail that curves over their back.
