Are big black scorpions in El Paso Texas poisonous?

Answer 1

All scorpions are poisonous. Their venom is contained in their tail. Are they all harmful to humans? Not necessarily. Some have stings similar to a bee sting. But if you're allergic, be careful. A good rule of thumb is if you're allergic to any kind of stinging insect, stay away from scorpions, too. The only scorpion in the U.S. that is deadly to humans are Arizona Bark Scorpions, and usually only deadly to small children or frail adults. They aren't black, but they *are* native here. The only black scorpions here are Diplocentrus sp. and most of them aren't even solid black.

But if that's the kind you mean, then they're not horrible, but it won't feel good, either.
