Reminds me of camping in the desert southwest. I learned the turn-over shoe and tap-tap-tap before inserting thy foot years ago. Only been stung twice and both times I was barefoot in the evening when the little critters come out hunting. I always carry a small blacklight flashlight to spot them. They are a frequent problem in the Las Vegas burbs. Imported from Mexico decades ago when the Vegas developers thought it was a cool idea to import palm trees from Mexico and yep the scorpions piggy backed on the palms. Aside from stomping them with your boot they are hard to kill and able to survive nuclear bomb radiation. Pesticides at Home Depot don't work that well. Have to get the industrial strength stuff.
