OUCH! Orange Scorpion BAD!

‘I woke up with sharp pain in my private area’: Man to sue Las Vegas hotel after he’s stung by scorpion in testicles while in bed

A California man had an unwelcome visitor in his bed during a stay at a luxury Las Vegas hotel.

“I woke up with sharp pain in my private area,” Michael Farchi, 61, told Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC. “Didn’t know what it was. I reached my hand to see what was happening under the covers and got another sharp pain.”

Farchi told Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS that it felt like somebody stabbing him with a “piece of glass or knife.” He ran to the bathroom and undressed to see an orange scorpion hanging on to his Reebok boxers. Farchi said the not-very-nice scorpion stung him at least three or four times.

Do you think he's faking it? Maybe he stuck himself with a pin 3 or 4 times.

Allegedly the perpetrator was not apprehended so the exact species of the perpetrator and the toxicity of its venom have not been confirmed. Pictures released by Farchi and his attorney show the arachnid appearing perhaps an inch long.

Seriously... how's a scorpion getting into the hotel, into the room and into the bed... then into his jockies?

Throwing the BS flag on this one.

I was just wondering.... did the scorpion take the stairs or the elevator on the Venetian's Palazzo tower to get to his room? Think

Been stung a few times over the years. I learned as a kid to always turn your shoes upside down before putting them on. The sting is maybe just a little stronger than that of a wasp or yellow jacket but lasts longer.

Don't think I would like to get one in the jewels though. OhMyGod
