Our first (and hopefully last) scorpion sting. Riley came down last night at about 9:30pm to inform us he had just been stung by a scorpion that had gotten in his bed. He said it felt like a thorn went into his leg and he looked down and saw it scamper away. (There is probably a better word to describe the way a scorpion quickly crawls, but scamper is all I can think of). He said it didn't hurt any worse than a bee sting and after about an hour it didn't hurt at all. We kept him up for a while to watch him and make sure he didn't have any reaction to it. He seemed fine. He had a hard time going back to bed, though. I don't blame him. Dave and I were a little freaked out ourselves. We're getting the house sprayed ASAP.

I'm not normally a creepy crawly hater... but that made me feel a little icky. In his bed really? Oh.
Blech... That would completely freak me out. Happy to hear he's okay.
AHHH totally creepy!! I hate scorpions! I am glad he's ok!
I found ya on MMB and wanted to stop in and say hi.
Oh my goodness! I think I'll probably have nightmares tonight thinking about scorpions in my bed!
What are ya waiting for? Fry that thing up and eat it! Or, better yet, make a popsicle out of it because revenge is a dish best served cold! (I'll be here all night folks.) --tyrroneous
