This is the seventh Scorpion we found in our house in the space of one week. The first one was sighted in our backyard about a week ago. That one was way bigger than the ones above. It looks more like their parents lol.
The following day, while I was making my bed I felt like an ant had bitten me, only for me to take a look and found one of them on my leg. Ouch! I was lucky, somehow it wasn't that painful, this was the second time in my life that I will be bitten by a scorpion and luckily the first time wasn't that painful as well. This thing makes some people share tears but in my case, it just felt like a bite from an ant.
And so, they have kept on showing up one after another. Luckily no more cases of a bite. But now this is kind of giving me anxiety. Not for myself but for Jr and his dad. His dad had a very unpleasant experience with them in the past and I don't pray he does again hehe. I don't know why there are so many of them. Looks like the egg was laid somewhere and now they have hatched.
I make sure to clear our surroundings as much as possible. I clean the house twice a day and even spray everywhere but they kept on showing up.
They seem to be very common in this environment. Even in our former house, I remember they were everywhere in our compound during this time of the year, only that they never got inside our rooms.
I remember while growing up if we see anyone around we will be told to hand it with a stick in the open so that any subsequent ones will be seen easily. I don't know how true that was.
Now in the house, I have to double-check everywhere now and then to avoid the story that touches.
I just hope that the last one found will be the last of them. They are unwanted visitors so they are not welcome in my domain.
Have you had any encounters with a Scorpion in the past? How does the story go? I will love to hear it in the comment section.
First thing to do with a scorpion bite is to tie the area to avoid spread of the poison to the other part of the body and if the pain is much, try to seek help.
This is me just ranting about some scorpions 🦂, and thank you for visiting do have a blissful time at your end.
