Yesterday, I had a busy day. We did school. I cleaned the house, made supper, and exercised. I wanted to jump in the shower quickly before I saw the patients waiting for me on the porch. I grabbed my purple scrubbie ( my 99 cent Wal-Mart special) and got it soapy with a bar of Palmolive. I scrubbed down and was finishing on my feet when I felt something strange move in my hand. I flung my hand out and looked down on the floor. There, to my surprise, was a scorpion – all clean and bubbly. At first I thought it was dead, but it soon tried to crawl away.
Wow. What a bizarre feeling – to know that it had been in my hand and scrubbie as I washed my whole body!!! For the rest of the night, when I thought about it, I would feel little pinpricks on my skin. I was thankful not to have been stung. Our African friend thought that the scent from the soap confused the scorpion temporarily. Who knows? I definitely do not recommend it as a new skin treatment. :^)
Dawn! Seriously??? Are you trying to curb my love of Africa? ;0) Would I have been a mess or what???? SO glad you didn't get stung...and palmolive?? is it time to send some bath and body products?
