Arizona Bark Scorpions-Information?

[Mitchell]

I dont know if anyone else has heard about this, but I just read that Milwaukee Brewers GM Bob Melvin was stung by an Arizona Bark Scorpion yesterday. Supposedly, these creatures contain venom, and their bite can cause numbness and tingling in the area which was attacked.

I've only been to Arizona twice, and the last time was 25 years ago. I dont recall seeing or hearing about these insects.

Do any forum members have knowledge about them, or has anyone ever seen one?

I have heard there are only like two poisonous species of scorpions in the US. Most just look mean. I guess this might be one of those two.

Scorpions freak me out.
