I have 12 different species of scorpions and have never gotten stung.

You can find one at a local pet store for a cheap price.

Scorpions in Ohio?

I don't know for sure if there are scorpions in Ohio, however I was climbing a very rocky/dirt cliff at the Metro Park in Euclid, Ohio (suburb of Cleveland) and something crawled out and stung me on my left arm. I never saw what it was. My entire arm went numb. There was minor pain and some swelling at the site of the sting. The numbness lasted several hours and then gradually went away. I've been trying to find out if there are scorpions in Ohio. I guess it could have been some sort of Wasp. I've always wondered if it was a scorpion though. ::Although very rare, it is possible to encounter the Vaejovis carolinianus (Southern Unstriped Scorpion) in areas of southern Ohio that were not affected by Pleistocene glaciation such as Cincinnati, Portsmouth, Ironton, and Gallipolis.
