If you have a scorpion as a pet, you should know how to properly handle it in order to prevent them from stinging you, your family, and your other pets. Meanwhile, if you work in an area where scorpions most likely thrive, always wear protective clothing to help prevent any form of contact between scorpions and your body. If you spot a scorpion crawling on your skin, quickly brush it away and don’t slap it. If you slap a scorpion, it may end up stinging you if you didn’t hurt it enough. read more
