Is It True That If You Put Alcohol On a Scorpion It Stings Itself To Death?

Question

I Heard This And Wasn't Sure Of It's Being True. I Won't Test Or Be Able To Test But Is It True?

Answer 1

i know the myth that if you circle a scorpion with fire it will kill itself. But that myth was wrong.

In addition, alcohol will have no effect either. It may appear that the scorpion is stinging itself because of the reaction of fire/ alcohol with its body (having some kind of seizure). However even if it did sting itself, the Venom doesnt have an effect on it own body so that myth is wrong from the start

Answer 3

Wow, interesting i'd like to know the answer also...

Answer 4

i don't really think there's anything wrong in asking that question... no where in that question did he say that he intends on trying it if the statement is indeed true... thinking that he likes to watch creatures suffer is only an assumption.. which in my opinion is not valid... i think its an interesting question... random but its still ok to know...

anyway so whats the answer?
