Please don't believe that about scorpions. I spend the winter in Ariz. so I hear and read about a lot about them. Some aren't poisonous but others are. You have to learn about them to know the difference. I went to pick up a pc. of yarn off my liv. rm. carpet but at the last min. something stopped me. It was a little scorpion. I stepped on him quite a few times to be sure he wouldn't come around again.
