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.
