[Az-Geocaching] scorpions

[Delora McAllister]

Any scorpion should be avoided of course, however the "Bark Scorpion" is one 
of the most poisonous in Az. And size does not necessarily matter..... some 
of the smaller varieties can pack a more potent sting than the bigger ones. 
In any event, it would be wise to use gloves or kick over rocks before 
exploring around them. I myself have not been stung, but I have seen young 
children who have.The smaller you are, it seems, the more malevolent the 
effects of the sting can be.Be careful out there on the trails. And KEEP ON 
CACHIN'.
