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!
