Las Vegas, Nevada – A man from California experienced a painful and unexpected incident while staying at The Venetian in Las Vegas. Michael Farchi was stung on his testicles by a scorpion while sleeping in his hotel room on December 26. The discomfort of being stung on this sensitive area left Farchi in excruciating pain.
Farchi described the sensation as if someone were stabbing him in his private area. He quickly realized the source of the pain and found a scorpion hanging on his underwear. The shock and disbelief of the situation prompted Farchi to capture several photos of the bright orange creature before seeking medical attention.
