Check your luggage
Check your luggage for SCORPIONS... I finally got everything out to pack for the trip... and a few minutes later- we saw something laying on the carpet. I asked my daughter what it was, and I was just before picking it up, when I realized what it was. Well,I got a shoe and hit it. It coiled its back, and the beating continued... Once it was done, I put it in a shoe box and ran to the trash with it....EEEEWWWWWW YUCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am freaked out right now.... They are very dangerous in my area. I have seen one in my yard (we live near a lake), but never upstairs inside the house.... GROSSS!!!!!!!!
Everyone be careful- they may not be dangerous, but they can be deadly. I do not want to get close enough to see if it is dangerous- let the VACaTION begin!

Re: Check your luggage

Re: Check your luggage
Oh, couldn't you have picked it up and set it free?

Re: Check your luggage
Do you think it came out of the luggage, or it just got into the house somehow? If it was in the luggage, where did you have it stored? That would have totally freaked me out!!

Re: Check your luggage
Well, I have an overhang in our bedroom, that is a storage closet off our bedroom. Our luggage stays in there... I am not sure that it came from there, but the only thing that we had gotten out at that point was my daughters bag... She was putting things in her bag, and I looked at the floor- about 6 feet away from where she was sitting, and there it was on my tan carpet- eeewwww... I am not normally squeamish at all, but I was freaked out- so were my kids. if it did not come from there, then I do not know where it came from...

Re: Check your luggage
Well, a TR is forthcoming... it starts today! yeah!!!!! The scorpion is/was about 1.5- 2 inches long.... It was not very big at all... It was just big enough that it looked like one of those very inexpensive plastic toys (barrel of monkey) sized plastic. This one looked all black, although I did not get close enough to see what it looked like. I thought it was a dragonfly plastic toy that had spilled out of her bag....

Re: Check your luggage
Ugh. That sounds pretty scary.
I thought you were going to say you brought it home from Disney or something. Not much chance of finding one of those buggers up here in New England, thank goodness.
