    One of my first jobs was working for a shitty movie theater where they had a scorpion infestation. I got stung on my finger taking out the trash and they just sent me home. Fell asleep/passed out with my finger in a cup of ice.

      luckily small tails means less venomous, and large tailed stingers are venomous, you can also tell if they have large or small pincers, larger pincers are less venomous. different species have variations of this.

        Yeah, luckily we don’t get large scorpions here. It was just a little guy, still hurt a bunch and made my finger swell to an alarming size.
