To: Repeal The 17th
On two seperate incidents I stepped on one and got stung on the bottom of my foot, my wife got stung on the hand.

Both of us had swelling and felt a little nausea but other than that no big deal. It hurts like hell though, feels like burning yourself on a hot stove except longer.

Was it one of those little blond bastards?-the bark scorpion?

I had a guy tell me that the pulp from a prickly pear takes away the burn. I dont know because I make sure I use leather gloves to dig around in whatever when I am down in AZ.

Those stings can make you really sick and we have a lot out here in the boonies where I live in Texas.

An old rancher told me about this.....

Try good old bleach for a sting Works like magic. Just put the bleach on the sting and you don’t get sick.

It works!
