Scorpion Bites Woman On Flight To Atlanta: United

ATLANTA, GA — A woman was stung by a scorpion on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Atlanta, according to multiple reports. The incident, which occurred Thursday, began when the woman on United Flight 1554 said she felt a stinging sensation on her leg.

As the sensation intensified, she went to the United plane's bathroom. That's when the scorpion fell out of her pant leg and scurried away, according to a BBC report.

"After learning that one of our customers on Flight 1554 from San Francisco to Atlanta was stung during flight, our crew responded immediately and consulted with a MedLink physician on the ground who provided medical guidance," United Airlines said in a release to Patch.
