Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Elle, Sorry I am so late in responding to this. You know, I looked this up before, the treatment is the same as for a bee sting: apirin or motrin and ice packs. Pretty simple. Of course, the benedryl is also useful for any itching,etc. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Omigod! You have scorpions in your living room? First of all, Elle, I'm so sorry you got stung! That must have been painful and scary. But, I don't think I could live anywhere where there was a chance of something like that in my livingroom. Eeeesh! (What am I saying? I live in the desert. I suppose there COULD be a scorpion in my livingroom! Yikes!) Tracey > I was walking across my living room and got bit by a scorpion.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Sorry about being so late in responding. I hope your sting is better. Scorpions sting, not bite I've been stung MANY times. I grew up in the Texas country side so we had plenty of them. I have been stung a total of 7 times. If you're not allergic the pain usually subsides by the next day. The first day it just throbs and sucks. Anyways, hope you're ok! > I was walking across my living room and got bit by a scorpion.
