Thank you for the helpful information!! I have not needed it but it’s always better to know!! We found a scorpion or shall I say my cat did.. Luckily we got it out of the house..I didn’t kill it but I wished I had!
I found a big brown scorpion in my living room and a tiny black one in my kitchen. I want to exterminate myself but I have dogs that live inside and cats that live outside what can I use to get rid of these? I have health problems I don’t need to be getting stung.
Wow. This message s too much to remember. I caught the bark scorpion that stung my son, poured rubbing alcohol over it and let it sit dead in the alcohol for about 5 minutes, removed the dead scorpion from the alcohol and soaked his thumb (sting location) in the alcohol for 10 minutes. It took the sting out and he was all better an hour or 2 later.
Simple Oklahoma country remedy that worked for me.
My 4 year old son was bitten by a bark scorpion last July, I washed off the sting with bleach, 20 minutes later he was totally fine, he was actually playing, we called my mother in law and she said, don’t trust it take him to urgent care right away(we don’t have a hospital in our town) so I have him a shower and within 5 minutes he started getting super irritating we got out the door and on the way to urgent care he didn’t know what to do with himself I had to take him off the car seat and he was moving and twitching non-stop on the car floor, we took him to the urgent care my kid had not stop crying, after 30 minutes in the URGENT care they told us there was nothing to do there they called 911(I could have done that) and they told urgent care to take him to a children’s hospital for an antivenom once, well by the time the ambulance arrived over 50 minutes had passed by, my kid would not stop moving and screaming(kind of like exercised from a horror movie) so they couldn’t strap him, fire department arrived and one of them occured to ask for his car seat, once strapped we took off, 2 hours later and we were just leaving urgent care, what a horrible nightmare for my poor son. When we got to urgent care he hadn’t stop moving like crazy and with such force 3 nurses and myself could not get him still for the Iv, they put morphine did nothing to him, saline also because they needed to.put antivenom. 4 hours after the sting the antivenom was applied and half an hour after applied he gave a huge breat/sight and stopped moving, kicking and screaming. It had worked. I would have loved to know to give him benadryl right off the bat at the very second I would have shoved benadryl in his mouth and maybe he would not had such a horrible histamine reaction. I will load up on liquid benadryl and keep in hand.
By the way thank goodness we had insurance back then. The antivenom was $40,000 dollars….in Mexican hospitals same antivenom is widly given to.patients and cost less than $150 dollars talk about a rip off. If the antivenom was in.liquid form or pills I would stock up on them since I still have scorpions in.My yard I kill 2 a week.
