Last night as I was walking through the living room of my brother's house, I saw a scorpion on the floor. Since I was barefoot, I couldn't step on it so we took a shoe and killed it.
So, tonight as my brother is walking into his bedroom, he steps on a scorpion which stings him in the ankle. Most of his heel, ankle and calf are numb now, but at least the pain has subsided. The worst part is - the vicious little rascal escaped and we never did find it.
Needless to say, I am in the habit now of checking my shoes before I put them on. And since they sometimes get in the beds (my brother once got stung in bed), I guess I'll be pulling all my covers back every night for a careful bedcheck. Out here the bedbugs really do bite.
