Deadly shiit

But my family get the anti-venom and treatment. Sadly, religion and age prevented me from asking to be shown the herbs those days in the village.

How does religion affect knowledge about herbs? Any pastor that tells you it is a sin to know such things is preaching heresy to you.

I have seen and I ran from it. In fact, the one I saw was Black.

For those asking what has religion got to do with it, I was just a kid still under dad's care, and he was an orthodox pastor.

You then can imagine how we were forbidden so many things and people seen as ungodly.

We talking Deeper Life of the late 70s and early 80s here.

This cannot kill a human. Just a very painful sting.

I found this giant scorpion on my wardrobe this morning, I had to search for the right section to post it using "snake" as a keyword so I was directed to celebrities section.

Now I understand why snake threads make fp, snakes are celebrities on nairaland.

Which area do u live pls?

IBvoss:
OP, be thanking your god for your life. That is a fat-tailed scorpion, the most dangerous scorpion species in the world with potent venom that can easily kill humans. One way to know if a scorpion is dangerous is by looking at its pincers and tail. Scorpions with large claws and small tails rely more on their claws for catching prey and thereby have weaker venoms and smaller tails. Scorpions with large tails and small pincers are very dangerous as they have a strong venom which they primarily use to kill their prey than their claws.

Tell them..oo.De people above dere said scorpion can't kill human being.Shioorr!

Kubernetes:


Mine was just last April.
I killed it and rush to a nurse who injected my finger with zylocain...Pain so started at stung time and subsided after about 15hrs.

15hrs? Truly de thing can kill a human being.I don't believe someone people up dere telling us scorpion is not deadly to humans.

You never enter ilorin be that

But why giant scorpions come dey Ilorin? The biggest scorpions have ever seen in my life. They were so big, as in like Nokia 3310 kind of big, very black and plenty. Coming out at night like an army. With big claws. And they were fearless. Na wa! I was just wondering and cracking my head, because the place was not a jungle na, how come

With that size ....if that thing stings you, you will be stone dead in less than 5 minutes if you dont get instant antivenom.

Eat it raw so anubis can grant u the power of the Scorpion King

Mrkcee:
This scorpion is huge. OP u have to search around for it's scorplings (Babies). There's a likelihood there's more within. Use strong insecticide like Sniper in that entire room ASAP!

Insecticides may not kill scorpions cos they are not insects. They are arachnids.

Tonnyray:
Got stung by one 2 years ago.
That sh!t was fvcking painful.

is it possible to die from the sting? Did you take any antidote?

Village people

You see scorpions with small pincers; be wary of them! They are more venomous than the big black scorpions with large pincers.
