There seems to be agreement that Mexico has some dangerous scorpions that cause a lot of deaths each year. Of course, I don't know where in Mexico they live. I think you should check with a knowledgeable doctor there in your area, or a mission doctor who knows your area, and sort out whether there is a local risk and, if so, what the plan would be in case of a sting. From your email address I'm guessing you're involved in ministry to the deaf in Mexico. DO you know our friends the Bickfords? <ul><li>http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2081.htm </li> <li>http://www.opa.medicine.arizona.edu//horizons/2000/fall/pg21.htm </li></ul> I have no experience or particular knowledge with Mexican scorpions, but a quick Google search came up with a couple of interesting websites.
