I always thought that would require med. attention.?<br /> When we lived down there, a neighbor used to have Blacklight parties at night where they'd use blacklights to find scorpions crawling on their garden walls and fences, and then kill them. Of course, there were refreshments afterwards, lol! Only in AZ. You take care and feel better SOON!Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-40335855693444788992012-06-11T04:23:11.846-07:002012-06-11T04:23:11.846-07:00I've heard of scorpions, but I didn't know...I've heard of scorpions, but I didn't know they could send poison into your body like that and make you feel terrible.

FYI, there are essential oils that help. Devon was stung a few months ago and we immediately put oils on him. He had no muscle spasms and just a tiny bit of numbness on the site of the sting.

Something I learned when I got stung by a wasp is that onions take away the sting, so I just cut up an onion and rubbed the pieces on my leg where I got stung and hoped for the same result. It worked! But the numbness of course was still there where it spread. Hope you're feeling better soon!Karlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037490128282216712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-11928238507823328322012-06-10T22:32:53.247-07:002012-06-10T22:32:53.247-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09107637083178176583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-74944092429479392722012-06-10T22:32:34.239-07:002012-06-10T22:32:34.239-07:00Kids spent the evening scorpion hunting.

Hunter and Dallin watched in delight as the scorpions burned to a crisp with a little help from a sprinkle of gasoline. I fear that this may be a bad year for them.
