Picture this: you’re fresh off a flight, jet lagged and just trying to grab your suitcase from baggage claim. Suddenly a scorpion stings you out of nowhere.
That’s exactly what happened to a 40 year old woman at Boston Logan International Airport over the weekend, turning a routine trip into a nightmare.
The incident went down Sunday night around 7:30 p.m. in Terminal E’s customs area, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The woman, who’d just flown in (possibly from Mexico, per some reports) was retrieving her luggage when the unwelcome arachnid struck. She was rushed to a local hospital, though no word yet on how she’s doing.
Scorpion stings can pack a punch (think intense pain, swelling, maybe some numbness) but they’re rarely fatal for healthy adults, says the Mayo Clinic. Still, not the souvenir anyone’s hoping for.
