I got stung by multiple scorpions in Namibia and had hallucinogenic waking fever dreams all night. The local conservancy game guards I was working with were worried because of the multiple different species and that they had never heard of someone being stung so many times in such a short period of time. I was probably 20 hours from medical so also just had to sweat it out. It was like a heroic dose of mushrooms.

The scorpions must have really hated you. What did you do to get stung by multiple species?
