Scorpions, like venomous snakes, can be a deadly danger to those who are not stuck. Scorpions are also found in Europe, in hot areas, including in Romania. If some of them are lethal, there are less dangerous species, but even their sting can be fatal to those who are allergic and may suffer an anaphylactic shock.
A Romanian who spends his leave in the Hellenic Island Thassos has reported a terrifying experience, on the Facebook group Forum Thassos
“Because I promised the children an experience with the tent, last week I took advantage of the property of a friend and started the vacation. I put the tent in the shade of olives and everything was perfect. In the evening the coolness I needed, the deep sleep …. A guest who was walking under my shirt, I pressed with power, after which I saw sleep.“, The Romanian wrote and posted next to the picture of a venomous Scorpio.
The posting was viral shortly. The reactions were immediate, and some of the internets remembered that they saw or even had directly to Scorpions in Greece, but also in Romania.
What do the Internet users say
“” I was stinging this summer by such a scorpion, it was on the blouse on me, just what I was dressed in, probably entered the luggage. I knew how good his venom is, we took him home, or at least I gave him the other hand ”a lady wrote.
“I was bitten and healed for diabetes too.”said someone else.
“I really spoke seriously. I didn’t make the statement just for the sake of posting. That’s what I found on my own skin. Later I searched the Internet if the pain relief has to do with the scorpion sting and I read that the Scorpio venom is in studying the rheumatological pain. But at how many misinformation and aberrations are on Facebook”, “ she returned.
Others also intervened in question, and someone else explained that Scorpio venom is increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industry.
“Yes, it is true, Scorpio venom is already put in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics. In Italy it is full of Scorpioncini only that they are black.”someone wrote.
The sting can be fatal
“Be careful, it may be dangerous if you are allergic. I know someone, a relative who died of a bee, has made anaphylactic shock. And the bee would not be like a dangerous scorpion”, Someone warned.
“The venom from a species of Scorpio is the most expensive liquid in the world, it has a huge price“, Commented another.
“I really wanted to ask if I pissed and if it hurts. I met them often”, added someone else.
“Mr. Scorpio, but it’s not venomous”, It was another perspective.
“It’s not venomous, but it gives you some pain pain”someone answered. They were both contradicted by someone more theme.
“It’s venomous. You were lucky. The pain is terrible, it passes after 24 hours even if you do an antidote vaccine”, they explained to them. “It happened to me! The pain is frightening, it does not compare with the sting of the wasp. I swelled my thumb and the pain gave up about 48 hours. The place swelled.“, Confirmed an internet.”And I went through that. I recommend antivenin. The pain is set locally and keeps only 24 hours ”someone added.
There is no antidote in Europe
“There is no vaccine and no antidote in Europe. However, there are different things. You have antiviper serum only for vipers in Europe, Scorpions, no mention. There is, however, an antivenin serum on other continent In Brazil, the United States, but in no case in Europe.”, Someone warned.
Scorpions living in Romania
“In Greece, the scorpions you can meet are mostly of the genus Euscorpius (often called small wood or scorpions from the bark). allergic, ” There was another comment.
Others have remembered that in Romania there is at least one species of endemic scorpion.
“This is not to find it at Herculane somehow? ”Someone asked. “There is another species, Euscorpius Carpathicus, which is only in the Carpathians, is an endemic species.”it was answered. “That’s the way they are in the Delta”, Added someone else.
“We found in the room at the hotel”someone drew an alarm signal. Others took the author of the post why he killed the Scorpio. “Why did he have to kill him?”, I write someone. “He had it under the shirt at the neck, at night, semi -adorned … He was crawling on the skin! You were still to analyze? He answered someone else before the author of the initial posting returns and provides a humorous answer.
Who is guilty
“I will tell you a secret, but please don’t tell anyone anymore! I’m a serial killer. That’s why I was created, to kill. I kill without blinking any being I feel at night under the shirt. Once I even felt my wife trying to get under my shirt.he joked.
“You have heard of survival instincts? You do them without thinking – that’s why we survived as a species – if our ancestors in the caves did not defend themselves from the venomous species of insects and animals today the planet was probably populated by baboons. Although the last review says that half of Romanians are related to baboons,” someone else intervened in the discussion.
“I would have known 10 houses to the left and 10 to the right, mine would have made a heart attack, I went into fibrillations and if I gave it, we tracked it many times, to be sure it has died. We all have phobias, but for these lights I have a special love.”, Wrote another.
“In this case you were a guest, not the scorpion”the author of the initial post was taken again. “I’m sorry to contradict you, but I was on the property of a friend. I mean, the man bought that land and built a bargain. Being owner, he makes the invitations. Being invited, I only brought my family, and that Scorpio is not on the list of guests. This means that not even a guest could be called. Has entered by burglary, which places it in the category of criminals, and I do not sit with criminals, to be clear”, The author replied with the same patience.
