Sounds like your outcome/recovery is going very well! I do know someone who was stung by one when putting on their shoe!!!! They kept their shoes in the garage and the young boy slipped his shoes on and got stung. After hearing that story, i knew there were scorpions in GA. Also taught me to check my shoes in the garage before putting them on! I had a cockroach in my tennis shoe back in high school. Didn't know that big sucker was in my shoe until I had it on and laced up and started walking! Yuck! Still gives me the willies just thinking about it! :)Kelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222531202712578186.post-12007819262748319862009-06-15T16:25:36.114-04:002009-06-15T16:25:36.114-04:00How scary!

I am scared for my boys to get bitten or stung by anything like that, especially my older sons because he already has some life threatening food allergies and I have a fear (probably irrational) that he will have a similar reaction to an insect sting/bite. <br />By the way, everything turned out just fine with the ultrasound on my leg.WinnFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604845342223458454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222531202712578186.post-15880870158753930322009-06-15T10:09:26.198-04:002009-06-15T10:09:26.198-04:00You and your family are VERY blessed! On the OTHE...You and your family are VERY blessed! On the OTHER side of the Mississippi, the poison of those foul creatures in AZ can kill small bodies. <br /><br />I'll always remember one night, I felt something on my chest and swooshing whatever away (thinking it could be a roach - I hate those things!)<br />I didn't see anything, so I got up and went to the bathroom. I sit and do my thing, half asleep still. So before I get back to bed I"m standing at <br />at the foot of it just looking to see if there is anything there, when I feel something on my chest. I look down and there is a scorpion hanging <br />from the front of my pajama! Automatically, without thinking, I just smacked it off! I found it and killed it. My method: I would take my swiffer <br />pole, since it's flat and square and smack it then hammer it---just to make sure it was really, really dead. I know, sounds gross, but I don't take <br />any chances.<br /><br />All I could do was to continually praise GOD because this was found in my bedroom and not in my daughter's, who was only 2-3y.o. <br /><br />I'm thankful you shared this with me about scorpions here- I had no idea.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222531202712578186.post-49873296791463198552009-06-15T10:04:44.307-04:002009-06-15T10:04:44.307-04:00Mon 6/15/09 2:37 AM Thank God he is ok.
