The Arizona bark scorpion is a small, light brown scorpion. It lives in the Sonoran Desert of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is the most venomous scorpion in the United States, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a sting.1

The venom causes severe pain in adults, along with numbness, tingling and vomiting. These symptoms typically last between 24 and 72 hours. The stung area may stop working for a time, so a hand or arm can be temporarily immobilised or have convulsions. Some victims also feel short breaths and electrical jolts.1

Two deaths have been recorded in Arizona since 1968. Thousands of people are estimated to be stung each year in Arizona and New Mexico. Young children are at particular risk of severe symptoms.1

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

Scorpions, including this species, were found near ground zero during American nuclear tests, with no recorded harmful effects.1

Its venom has little effect on grasshopper mice, which scientists found use the toxin as a pain reducer rather than a pain trigger.1

It is the only scorpion genus in the Southwest that can climb rough walls and trees.1

Layers of wax on its outer shell help it resist water loss in the desert.1

Newly moulted scorpions do not glow under UV light for a few days.1

Young scorpions are gently guided onto their mother's back, where they stay after birth.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Scorpions go looking for people to sting them.

Resnica: They will not seek out humans unless they are provoked or defending their young. Many stings happen when people touch a scorpion on the underside of an object, where it is hiding.1
