I have squished a scorpion barefoot in an early morning stupor, without getting stung.

This is Georgia's native scorpion, the Southern Unstriped Scorpion. Why do we tend to squish them barefoot? I found one in my sunroom when I lived in Georgia and, barefooted of course, stepped on it. I got everything but the tail and it got me. My foot was numb from the ankle down for an hour. Weird feeling.
