Living in the desert southwest has its advantages and disadvantages. The warm temps, sunshine and beautiful flowers are advantages. Wind, dust and insects are disadvantages. I sat down on a chair on the patio this afternoon and was bitten by a scorpion. I'd reached behind me and felt a pinprick so, of course, I felt deeper to see what caused it and wham! I thought a red hot needle had punctured my finger! I plunged it into a bag of ice and got on Google to see what would stop the throbbing. As long as I had it iced, it was okay, but the minute the ice was gone, it hurt like the devil. Some friends happened to be here and one suggested putting Tea Tree Oil on it. As luck would have it, I had some on hand and it stopped the pain almost immediately. I guess those Australians know what they're doing!
