Some are, some are not. However their sting still don’t feel all that good otherwise.

The passenger, Richard Bell, was stung when he picked the creature up after it landed on his plate.

Idiot deserved to be stung.

Scorpions aren't deadly. We used to have to shake out our shoes before putting them on and check the bathroom as they'd come up the drains.

They sure can be deadly. In the SE US, they’re brown or black and sting like wasps or hornets. But in SW there are white scorpions and they can do you in... in the US you’ll have treatment though.

In Ecuador you can have either.

So, scorpions are no joke. Saying they’re not deadly is like saying snakes are not deadly. They can be.

Maybe, but not likely. There are over 1,500 species of scorpions in the world and only 50 MIGHT be able to take down a human ... depending on said human's health.

There's only one in the U.S. that can be deadly ... the Arizona Bark Scorpion.
