What Would Happen If You Swallowed a Scorpion

You’ve been lost in the desert for days, and you know that you desperately need something to eat. You drag yourself to the weak shade of a straggly tree and out from under a rock crawls…a scorpion. Yum! Wait, you can’t believe you’re considering it… but how bad could it be?
Scorpions are packed full of protein-just what you need! How hard can they pinch? And how venomous are these things? The least of your worries are the claws or pincers. Scorpions can pinch, but you should be more worried about the poisonous stinger. A sting is way more painful-and dangerous-than a pinch.

SUMMARY:
- There are over 1,500 species of scorpions, but you’re in the desert, so you’re probably dealing with the Common Desert Scorpion.
- It’s a brownish-yellow color, and it might have brown hairs on it. This scorpion uses those hairs to pick up vibrations from the air and ground to find food.
- To catch one, though, you’re going to have to wait until dark. Why?? Most scorpions glow under a UV light! Luckily, you have one.
- Next, you need to set a trap. Around the perimeter of the rock, or near the holes, dig a hole large enough to set a cup in, and pack the sand tight around the opening.
- It’s best to remove the stinger and venom gland; if you don’t, the scorpion would try to sting you all the way down.
- But if this really was a survival situation, scorpions ARE a good option. The legs are surprisingly meaty and, like lobster, the best meat is in the tail and pincers!
- After you catch your scorpion, you’re somehow able to start a fire, and decide to cook it. This is much safer.
- Once the scorpion has an even brown color, it’s ready to eat! It should have a nice crunchy texture.
- In some countries, scorpion is actually a versatile delicacy! Cooked scorpions are served as street food, and make a nice soup!
- Scorpions aren’t just found in remote deserts; they’re common in hot, dry places like Arizona or parts of Australia, and they can wander into your home!
- If you’re stung, look for symptoms of an allergic reaction, like a rash or hives. You’ll probably have some swelling and itchiness, so put some ice on it.
- A scorpion sting doesn’t usually cause a lot of problems for most people, unless you have a serious allergy to the venom.
- If you live in the Southwest US-states like Arizona, Texas, and Nevada-watch out for the bark scorpion! They’re brown with a darker back, and up to 3 inches long.
- If you think you’ve been stung by a bark scorpion, it’s best to just go to the emergency room.

Colorado too! I lived in Pueblo County Colorado and there were 2 - 3 or more in my bathrooms, in the tub and shower stall during the hottest days of the summer! Found one in my kitchen sink once too! Around 102 to 105 degrees outside tends to bring them in for the cool moisture of the bathrooms... Ouch and the sting hurts much worse than any wasp sting that I ever had and lasted a good 12 hours of a painful feeling of a hot railroad spike being hammered into you where you were stung! Constant ice on the sting makes it bearable!

[@sariahf_hussain]

Why would you swallow a scorpion in the first place?!...

Protein but they hold their breath for nearly a week underwater so its will take a week before the scorpion moves the the intestines So it will take about a month before the scorpion gets out as human waste
