Scorpions don't bite but they do have a sting in their tail...eek. The one in this video strolled onto our building site yesterday and we all rushed to see what it looked like, without fear of what would happen if it stung us... well actually with a lot of fear that's what made it so exciting!
Anyway we have since had a toolbox talk on the dangers of Scorpions and here's what you should do if you do ever get stung. 1. Wash the Scorpion sting with Soap and water.2.Apply a ice wrapped in a cloth.
3.Elevate the affected area above heart level.
4.Get medical help...immediately... if you start to get numbness, tingling of extremities or face, blurry vision, twitching, roving eye movements, vomiting then call an ambulance!!! Tips to avoid being stung are check clothing before getting dressed and don't get to close when trying to film them with your camera phone!
