Mexico

In an article written by Dr. Charlie Easmon called Scorpion Stings and Spider Bites, he says, “In Mexico each year 1000-2000 deaths occur from scorpion bites”.
Mexico does not have much in the way of flora or fauna that will kill you. Unlike Australia, where almost everything can kill you, Mexico is harmless-to a point.
Mexico also has its share of deadly coral snakes and a nasty snake called the Fer-de-lance. Take my word for it that you don’t want to mess with either of these snakes. Do what I do should you encounter a snake in Mexico: Run screaming in the other direction like a girlie-man. I demonstrated this technique last spring when a snake (a harmless one) got into our kitchen and crawled across my right foot.
It seems Mexico’s flora and fauna come looking for me regularly. I don’t know what it is, but since moving here, we discovered a nest of scorpions in our apartment. I was stung by one. There was that snake in our kitchen that caused me to embarrass myself with my womanly screaming. Then, of all things, my wife comes rushing into the bedroom this afternoon to tell me there is a hawk in the dining room.
Now, this should not stop you from expatriating to Mexico. Just because we have here one of the top 5 deadliest scorpions in the world that will nest in your house, two snakes whose venom makes a cobra look like a stuffed toy, snakes coming in the kitchen, and birds of prey that will fly into your home; these shouldn’t stop you from coming to live in Mexico.
