Scorpions, There are about 18 species of scorpions in Texas with most of them found in the Big Bend area. They have an average size of 2 inches. The color may vary from dark to light. Although Texas scorpions are not considered deadly, they can inflict a sharp, painful, sting which may produce a local reaction. Individual reactions may vary. The venom is a neurotoxin and anyone stung should be watched closely for adverse or allergic reactions.
Spiders serve a very beneficial purpose in nature, often feeding on nuisance critters such as mosquitoes, gnats, flies, crickets. etc. All spiders have venom; that is how they kill their prey. However, most bites are usually not medically significant, with the exception of bites from widow spiders and recluse spiders. If you are bitten by a spider, you may experience a red, swollen, itchy area on your skin. In most cases, these go away without much care or attention. If you feel or see the spider biting you, wash the area with soap and water. Call the Poison Center for further instructions 1-800-222-1222.
