Girl stung by supermarket scorpion

Mmmmm ... watermelons. I was so glad to see them showing back up in stores this weekend. There's nothing like a juicy, sweet bowl of nutritious watermelon on a hot summer's day.A West Virginia girl learned, though, that sometimes watermelons are not so good for your health -- not when they've got a hitchhiking scorpion on board. The girl was stung by the scorpion who apparently came into the store in a box of watermelons. Her dad didn't believe her until he saw it scuttling away. Shiver.
Luckily, most scorpions are not dangerous and the girl was unharmed. She said that the sting hurt a little worse than a bee sting. Still, Wal-Mart officials are looking into the matter.
