Yes, the locals say the younger ones are more potent.

Just an aside....but I have been stung twice. The first time I was up at my lot when
they had just finished grading it, I went to throw a rock down the hill and got stung
quite a long time on the tip of my Fyou finger. I went into the trailer and lay down,
the pain and the drama...saliva, throat tightening, intensified. I wrote a letter saying
if someone found me dead that I had gotten stung by a scorpion. I then went outside, got
a pick and a shovel and worked my ass off as a way to distract me from thinking about
the situation, from applying all the preconceived information I had heard previously.
After a couple hours the symptoms went away. My finger was numb for a month.

Edit: The second time, I can't remember right now how I got stung,
all I remember is cursing the scorpion and then carrying on as if nothing
had happened. Worked for me.
