"So Doug Melvin grabbed a tissue and attempted to eliminate what he believed was a harmless problem, only to be stung on the middle finger by what he learned was an Arizona bark scorpion -- the only one of the 80 scorpion species in the United States considered lethal, according to Slate."

Crazy. I'm not sure why you wouldn't kill the bug with your shoe if it was "scuttling across the floor".

Maybe he was barefoot? I've heard that in general the smaller the scorpian the more dangerous they are.

True up to a point. The little ones will hurt you, but the big ones will make you hurt yourself.

Tough week to be a GM.
