Growing up I worked at a Boy Scout Camp for many years near Florence. As we prepped the camp each season and unrolled the old military mattresses we'd find many 2-4 inch scorpions who'd taken up living in them for the winter and spring. I also had an unfortunate run in with one while hiking Horseshoe Bend Park years ago, the little guy stung me on the end of my thumb after I sat down to take a breather. They aren't the deadly poisonous type around here but I never want to be stung by one again. Worse than any type bee, wasp or hornet sting I've ever had. Regards, Chef
