We have a cabin up at Huntington Lake in central California. One of these guys got in and I stepped on it. I first thought it was a sharp piece of wood and then the pain started in. I looked down and it started to move. We put a jar on it and then sprayed it with Raid. We put it in a jar and it will now become a show and tell for my daughters. We have had the cabin for 10 years and this is the first time I have seen a scorpion. Needless to say we are a bit cautious, now wearing shoes inside. The sting hurt for a while and then my toe turned numb until morning. No other symptoms. Thank goodness.

I found one of these in my bedroom - as I was getting up from sitting on the floor, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye! My minature poodle went to play with it and I caught her just in time. As he was running for the door (must have come in gap under the door in the garage apartment I rent!), I kicked an empty box that happened to be there, and it hit him just right, sadly to say (?), between the head and body like it broke his neck! He stopped and froze on the run... He is now with the rest of my spiders I have collected since living here!
