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

LOL!! Sounds like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer. . . it feels so good when it stops.

Arizona Bark Scorpion, Centrurus exilicauda, SW US (AZ,CA,NM, perhaps UT), potentially lethal sting
Striped Bark Scorpion, Centruroides vittatus, very common in TX, range from IL to NM and most points in between, non-lethal, excrutiating pain ("like a nail being driven into the site of the sting")
