Life in rural Kyrgyzstan: Warm weather causes scorpions to swarm Naryn home

AKIPRESS.COM - Naryn town resident told Turmush correspondent that scorpions are swarming around his home.

However, Mr Janybek Yrsaliyev said the scorpions were not an unusual sight in his home as the arachnids have been showing up at his place for the last 2 years with the coming of warm weather.

"In the home we're living in, I've seen two kinds of scorpions - white-gray ones and big black ones. Recently, I was able to capture one black scorpion, which I gave to the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station," said Yrsaliyev.

"Staying at home is getting dangerous, especially during nighttime when everybody sleeps. The bite of a scorpion can become fatal for a person with poor health," said Yrsaliyev.
