I really can't explain the nausea on monday, but the nausea on tuesday can be explained by the scorpion. The Arizona bark scorpion is the most venomous scorpion in North America, and its venom can cause severe pain (coupled with numbness, tingling, and vomiting) in adult humans, typically lasting between 24 and 72 hours.[3] Temporary dysfunction in the area stung is common; e.g. a hand or possibly arm can be immobilized or experience convulsions. It also may cause loss of breath for a short time. Due to the extreme pain induced, many victims describe sensations of electrical jolts after envenomation. I was lucky that my hand an arm weren't immobilized because I needed the functioning army to get back out, but god did it hurt. And yeah it could certainly have been responsible for vomiting on the way back up. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
