Hit by a scorpion at 4 am on a small island - what to do?

Waking up at 4 am from a sharp pain is no way to wake up. It messes with our head. And that head, for some inexplicable reason, was sure that the pain was from a scorpion bite. I turned the light on, shook the sheets, and, sure enough, a plump, yellowish scorpion wiggled out. Until it met my slipper. Mind you,I am an environmentalist and do not kill any bugs unless in danger, but scorpions have really bad rep. I took the photo of the offender, or what was left of it, in case I had to choose a right anti-venom. Yeah, right. I live in Utila, off the northern coast of Honduras. Quite off the northern coast. About an hour off. Even looking for a doctor in Utila, at 4 am, was not an option. Waking up Dr. John at that time might be more dangerous than a scorpion bite. So I did what any reasonable Utilian would do: I made myself a drink and sat on the porch to watch the sunrise. Poured some rum on the bite, just in case. I also did what any technology-addicted Westerner would do: I turned the computer on and Googled Honduran scorpions. I found out that they can kill chihuahua, what was bad for chihuahuas, but not my immediate problem. I also learned that one does not die from the scorpion venom in Honduras, what was actually all I needed to know. But, curiosity won, and rum was doing its thing, I was feeling much more relaxed, so I also learned that the pain and swelling on the bite site disappears in few hours. In some extreme cases people feel numbness in limbs, tingling, and in extreme cases, eyes rolling and respiratory problems. None of which I felt, so I went to sleep. Lesson learned: 1.When in the tropics, check for scorpions under your sheets, in your shoes, under the towel and in all other dark places; 2. turn the light on when you go to the bathroom at night, so that you do not step on them by accident; 3. Never, ever be without rum.
