All scorpions are poisonous. It's the nature of the beast. More people die at European footy matches each year than by scorpion bites worldwide.

BTW...I was born on October 31st.

If there is a silver lining to your story...it is that it happened at age 2. She'll never remember it.

None of the insects bites are "lethal". But virtually all can make you sick and if complicated by being very young or with an impaired immune system you can get very sick or even die. True of bees, wasps, hornets, scorpions and many spiders.

Many hurt. Some like scorpions or hornets a good bit. Actually a bee sting does hurt. But we, as children, got stung virtually daily for playing in clover rich fields bare foot. In fact we took care of each others needs on being stung. Pull out the stinger quick and slap on a little mud.

I hate bugs and stuff, like every one else of course, but I am scared of spiders lol.
So hopefully I won't ever encounter one of the poisoness ones.
Can someone please tell me which of these creaps are poisoness or dangerous?
Ow, and please say in what area you live when you post about your scorpion problems etc,
so that way I know where NOT to move to

None are lethal, just may have an allergic reaction. Just watch for their reaction if stung.

Can not tell you what area, this year was pretty bad for them. The more the town becomes established the more you will see. This year, I had customers that had seen them, that have never had one at their homes before, all over town. The main thing is they are looking for food and water. If you get rid of other insects then you have taken away one of their main food sources.
