If you live in an area with scorpions, it’s really common. Source: lived in an area with scorpions, all family members have at least 2 stories about them. Ever lived in an area with snakes? You probably never checked your shoes? You’ll learn real quick to check your gotdamn shoes with scorpions, the smallest fuckers are the worst.
Stayed the night in a friend’s family lake cabin at Dale Hollow in Tennessee, once. We had to kill two scorpions in 24 hours. One crawled up the drain in the kitchen sink, the other had crawled up the drain in the shower.
I was the lucky one to find the shower one. I started to go to crush it with a piece of toilet paper in hand like I would a spider, but thought better of it. Instead, I used a shampoo bottle to crush it and I’m glad I did. In its death spasms, it’s stinger stabbed the shampoo bottle like 4 times. Glad that wasn’t my hand.
The one in the sink, came crawling up when my friend’s mom started running the water, and she crushed it with a glass.
Even though I was lived in the area for 3 years, like 15-20 minutes away, and my sister is even closer, like 5-10 minutes away, I hadn’t ever seen a live scorpion. Nor have I seen one since. But right around the lake, apparently, they’re fucking everywhere.
