CAIRO (AP) — Heavy rain and flooding in a southern province in Egypt have left three people dead and more than 500 others hospitalized from scorpion stings, state-run media reported.
Downpours, hail and thunder in the province of Aswan over the weekend forced local authorities to suspend school classes Sunday, Gov. Ashraf Attia said.
The storms forced scorpions from their hiding places into many houses across the province, Attia added. He said at least 503 people were hospitalized after suffering scorpion stings and that all of them were discharged after they were given anti-venom doses.
Acting Health Minister Khalid Abdel-Ghafar said in a statement that no deaths were reported from scorpion stings.

Right here in E TN ‘m happy with our snakes, most of which are nonvenomous and very desirable because they do a great job eating rodents. Indeed so good that I encourage anyone who catches one and wants to rehome it to rehome it by releasing it on property.

It was climate change that allowed Israel to cross the Red Sea.

You, too, must like our local snakes. Whenever I have a contractor do any work on my property I specifically instruct him/her not to injure any snake he/she might run into.

As I’ve grown older, I respect all life a lot more.
I’ll even go out of my way for an insect once in a while.
On the other hand, if a human is threatening me or mine,
they better gave their insurance paid up.
