Japanese finds scorpion in jeans

Some scorpions' stings are deadly, but this one is not life-threatening

A Japanese woman trying on a pair of jeans in a shop got a shock when she was stung by a scorpion hidden inside.
The woman, on the southern island of Okinawa, ended up in hospital for five days as a result of the sting, which was not life-threatening.
Local health officials captured the 5cm (2 inch) scorpion, which was believed to be a Chinese bark scorpion.
It is thought to have travelled inside the jeans from China, where they were made. Officials told the Mainichi Daily News that the woman, who was not named, felt a sudden pain in her right knee as she tried the trousers on. When she rubbed the area with her hand, the scorpion then stung her right index finger.

How did this come about... :\ but poor, innocent woman. =D

I can't help to remember an urban legend where a woman tries on a coat in a coat store to find a nest of baby snakes in it. According to the legend, she does get bitten, but I can't recall if she was okay or not.

Kind of makes you rethink some ol' stories of your childhood eh? But poor woman ...

Poor woman... Just going out to get some new clothes, which all the girls like to do for some reason (And i personally hate it), and then you get stinged. And then you end up for five days in the hospital. I think you're not happy when that happens :\
