We have both here in Florida, they are not fatal, unless you are allergic to them. I was in my youth, and was stung by a Scorpion. I was out in the boonies swing on a rope-like vine. One fell off into my pants leg (pants are evil) and was understandably annoyed. The lady I was visiting made a poultice with the tobacco of a crushed cigarette and a small amount of water. It worked, I never suffered any ill effects.

We have had a house there for about 11 years. We always invite people down but not many take us up on that. Until this past year, we had non-stop guests and it is exhausting! Those margaritas don't just drink themselves! And watch out when talking about go-day escuing-ray. There are some Very Committed people that run an animal rescue shelter place and they are always roping in unsuspecting volunteers. But usually twice a month they get vets in for free spay and neuter clinics and do marathon weekends. Free to locals too, though they still don't usually bring their pets in.
