I have such wonderful neighbors. Got stung by a 4” scorpion 🦂 on Saturday night, did the anti-inflammatory & ice bit as suggested by Google, but of course I had a severe reaction to the sting. Think tingling/numbness in mouth tongue, face, hands, arms, feet, calves, thighs and difficulty walking. I got stung mid-left thigh. On Sunday morning a neighbor was heading to the City - 70 miles away where there is a chance of a pharmacy being open, everything is closed here on Sundays, he offered to get me Benadryl, but that would be about 4-5 hours, I accept cuz I don’t have any. About 32 hours later another neighbor is at my door, he has a packet of 8 Benadryl for me, expired 3/23, but that’s fine. I take the amount it says & go to sleep in about 30 minutes. For 4 hours! The effects of the sting are still there when I wake, but lessened. The neighbor who went to the City comes over with 2 different dosages, one for day, one for night. And then he takes Max out for a walk. I am so grateful for my neighbors 💕 They take very good care of me. Photo is of my sunset last night, a beautiful ending to my day.
