Bark Scorpion Sting

Bitten or stung in the night by an unknown critter? Hope this helps some. Bark scorpion stings cause little or no inflammation (redness or swelling) but intense hypersensitivity pain (hyperesthesia), numbness and tingling spreading up the arm or leg. In the video I keep referring to scorpion bite. Obviously, it is a sting not a bite, but you are not catching me at my best here !

Uuuhmmm.........Did it "bite" you, or "sting" you.

I'm thinking you meant to say "I was stung by a bark scorpion."

It is now six hours later and the only mark is a tiny red spot. There is a much larger area of pain and slight swelling and also a bit of numbness when I tap it. For the last two hours I have been very drowsy and feeling the need to just lay my head down. When I went back to bed, the stinging and pain were almost unbearable and the muscle around the bite site was actually twitching.

You type remarkably well for someone who just got stung and has a numb arm

I hope I'm lucky enough not to experience the pain you had and that the one that stung me is not poisonous!

I was exercising barefoot when I felt a sting bet my big toe and the 2nd toe on my left feet. I found out it was a 3 inch scorpion that looked like a bark scorpion. I called the Banner Hotline Poison Control and was told that the scorpion in the state I'm in are not poisonous unlike the ones in AZ. I was told to wash my foot in soap and water and put cold compress against it. It's now over an hr and I'm still ok, no agonizing pain, no blurred vision, just a stinging sensation once in a while.

Bark scorpion is as dangerous as scorpions get in the US. Which is funny because they are also mild. I just watched a guy handling one of these and he says he has never been stung in the many years he handled em.

I've just recently been stung by what seems like to be a scorpion, I had immediate pain and burning, then my toe got swollen, then I had an anxiety attack, all just about 2 hours ago, im 12
