Mexico’s Killing Fields
Hi I live in Cuernavaca Mexico, does anyone have a list of all the spiders scorpions etc and if they poisonous
Spiders: Black Widow spiders (Called "capulin") … and an equally toxic versions that are brown, and black and red striped.
Prevention: keep the house clean. They love messy places, and will live in furniture.
Scorpions … yes. They are all poisonous and the sting hurts like hell. Can be fatal to small children and elderly persons.
Prevention: Don’t take out the trash at night. Scorpions hang around the trash areas hunting cockroaches. Most of the stings happen at night, on bare feet.
Wear gloves if you are picking up trash and dead branches.
