The one that got me was venomous. I swelled up like a D cup bra, and within days, the tissue began to die off. Despite tea tree oil, first aid cream, and Benedryl, it hurt a LOT! It took months to recover. Don't know what would have happened if I had insurance and would've been able to see a doctor.
We think the one that got me was a wood scorpion, small but powerful. Since I had never been exposed before, my body didn't know what to do with the poison.
