Nice way to get AIDS, too.

Scorpion exchange program?

I've been stung by a very small scorpion. No way this could be considered recreation.

Sometimes new clients writhe and groan in pain for some minutes immediately after taking the sting, attracting the attention of curious onlookers including police.

Wow, sounds like something I would want to try.

"Most of the scorpion sting addicts are young urban people and truck drivers on the highways"

I thought the drivers in India drove like they were drunk. I couldn't imagine that they were high on scorpion venom. Many things are beyond the imagination.

The momentary pain of a sting gives way to an illusionary floating feeling that lasts six to eight hours. Most of the scorpion sting addicts are young urban people and truck drivers on the highways.

Hmmm, five months worth of this 24/7 and they'll likely be seeking death, and won't be able to find it.

Great. Within a few weeks we'll have guys hanging around school yards with scorpions, copperheads and black widows in their trenchcoats.

Once a man takes it, he will become an addict and he will have to return to us again.

Why doesn't the man just get his own scorpion?

Are the truck drivers screened for this on the random drug test?
Could this be why some Indian drivers appear to be lost in the middle of the road? (Here in Chicagoland!)

“And the correct name for the scorpion’s stinger is ...”

The Rudolph Schenker? As in “This scorpion better have a clean Schenker.”
