If you’ve been in Texas anytime at all you learn to turn your boots upside down and shake them real good before you put them on.

I have only been in Texas 71 years and I have never seen a scorpion.

Have seen a couple where I live in Texas. We have copper mesh in all the cracks around the house so they cannot get in.

Every now and then my dog brings something interesting to me. Last time I was home he brought me half of my sprinkler system he dug up. He is paying me back in rawhides my wife buys for him.

Sort of like the US and China

Years ago, shortly after my dad was reassigned to Fort Knox from Fort Hood, he was moving some of his gear and slung a sleeping onto his shoulder. Seconds later, he shouted and slapped the back of his neck. At first, we thought it was a wasp or yellow jacket, but closer examination revealed that it was a scorpion.

My mom rushed him to the hospital and they were able to treat it successfully.
