From the photographer: "Thank you for your article on scorpion stings and how to treat them. I found the information very useful when an Arizona Bark Scorpion so rudely stung my foot earlier this morning. Fortunately I am not having an allergic reaction and only suffer the relentless, intense pain that comes from stings from this species. This scorpion met it's death by shoe shortly after attacking me inside my Youngtown home.
...There has been no swelling or discoloration. In fact there's more of a mark on my arm from the tetanus shot than on my toe from the sting. For as much as it hurt you'd think the entire foot would be purple and 3 times it's normal size, but there's been nothing to show for the agony I went through and a day's lost wages. It's been 16 hours now since I was stung, and about 80% of the pain has subsided. Hopefully it'll be all gone by morning, allowing me to wear shoes again."
If you have taken a photo of an Arizona scorpion (or your hand or foot after having been stung by a scorpion) and you'd like to submit the picture to this photo gallery, here's how you do it.
