Isometrus maculatus

[TheNothing]

got nailed in the palm of my hand while packing up all my I. maculatus... he started to get out of his lil vile, so i cupped my hand over him to chase him back in

That wasn't a bright move

Pain was instant and well noted. Very similar to slamming your hand on the business end of a thumb tack.

I went into the bathroom and rinced the area with as hot water as i could stand for 2-3 minutes (trick I learned on the AAS website i think it was). Pain subsided in that amount of time.

Now 10 minutes later, slight tingle at sting site. And I feel like I have a medium level hangover.

note: one hour later... mild headache remains.

No other effects noted.

i started cleaning my enclosure at 3:00 pm/feb30, so i picked up one of their 3 hideout. i didnt notice that some of the agresive males have climbed the "no scorping" sign that i have placed on the top of the 2nd hide out.

i could say that the male hated me for disturbing the gavid females on the hide out so he gave me some(3) greetings. the pain was really instant, i dropped the hideout but still sure that no scorp was injured then bit my finger(pointer finger? im not sure of this in english) and i suck it and dropped my saliva, i look for any thin rope or tread and tied it at the base, i used then our very own ointment for stings and tetanus. pain started to fade but i saw 3 bumps, i know it is the place where he stung me so i looked for a pin and deflated those bumps. lymp started to flow and pain faded further.

3 hours later, no more pain but the deflated bump started to darken.

10pm pain started to come back but im sleepy thats why i didnt look at it.

9am it is totally black at the spot abd my finger starts to swell.

12noon swell becomes hard

3pm few pain

by now not so painful

I was feeding my 2i scorplings and one climbed up onto the lip of his deli cup. Since they are so small, I was very gentle in getting him back into the cup. I must have pinched one of his legs in between my finger and the cup and he stung me. At his size, I was amazed it pierced my skin enough to feel it. It felt like a pin prick. The area got a little pink. No pain beyond the initial sting. I will be more cautious as they get bigger - this was a nice forewarning.
