What is a scorpion doing at Logan Airport?
No, it’s not the start to a bad joke.
An apparent scorpion at the Boston airport reportedly stung a woman who was arriving in Terminal E on Sunday, according to Massachusetts State Police.
The woman in her 40s was stung while she was collecting her bags in the primarily international terminal, according to reports.
She was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In the U.S., scorpions are found in the South and Southwest.
Symptoms from scorpion stings — such as burning at the sting site, drooling. muscle twitches, abdominal pain and cramps, trouble breathing, and more — usually subside within 48 hours, although stings from a bark scorpion can be life-threatening, the CDC says.
Officials did not have any further information on if the scorpion has been located.
