*I have foubd two scorpions and a spider that looks like a tarantula inthe villa where I am staying. Are the scorpions dangerous and is that really a tarantula?

My advice after living in St. John for 15 years - ladies do not wear nylon. As per nylon nightgowns.
For some strange reason the scorpions really like nylon especially to lay their eggs
in. Funny but True!

On an overcast day back in May 2005, a scorpion crawled up my husband's leg in the restrooms at Cinnamon Bay. He was washing his hands and felt something on his leg. He shook his leg several times and, luckily, the thing fell off. It wasn't until he looked down that he saw it was a scorpion. I would've freaked out in the same situation.
