I was wondering if there are known precursor allergies that might be good signs of a potenetial allergy? I am allergic to shellfish but not bees or wasps. Scorps are very much closer in evolution to crabs, lobster and other dodecapods of the marine world. I have tried fairly exensive searches but really dont come up with much more then 'if your allergic to bees then...', any help would be nice. I dont plan on getting stuck in any case, if any need to actually reach in I have partitions for seperation and when I get more always doing a proper head, err tail count.

If your are allegic to bees you are NOT allegic to scorpions, allso there are no real evidence of anyone being allegic to scorpions.. there hasnt been a medical case were a person have taken they first sting from a scorpion and got a allegic reaction

There are a case were a person had been bitten alot by fire ants and then got stung by a Centruriodes later on, wich a allegic reaction, but thats belived to be more like getting more sensitive to the venom

Its weird, I got my first scorpion almost a year ago, never been stung. I have had my adult male emp smack me with his tail. Not to sting, cause im sure he would have sunk his sting had he wanted to, but more to tell me that he could sting me if he wanted too. Hit me with his tail 3 times and never stung me. But anyhow, what I had started to say was in the whole time of messing with them and things like that never been tagged.... I got into the cricket tank to grab a couple for food, and brushed up against a cactus. My whole finger swelled up and burned like a bugger.
Just felt a lil stupid, due to the fact that I got stuck by a cactus before I got stuck by a scorp.
And yes, I have cacti in the cricket tank.
