What better way is there to ring the fall season than with a good old traditional giant pumpkin contest? One such contest takes place every year in the German city of Ludwigsburg, where farmers from all over Europe roll out the biggest pumpkins you can imagine. 24-year-old Belgian farmer Mathias Willemijns won Ludwigsburg's pumpkin competition on Sunday, with a gourd that weighed in at 1,008 kilograms, or 2,222 pounds.
Some scorpions can kill human beings, and it's no wonder that some people are deathly afraid of them. However, one man, a Cuban farmer named Julio Casanas, is not only not afraid, he purposefully allows scorpions to sting him regularly in order to treat his pain. There are over 1750 different species of scorpions and the fearsome arachnids can be found on every continent except for Antarctica. However, only 25 of those are known to have venom that can kill a human. Most of the time, scorpion stings are simply unpleasant and won't do human beings much harm, and, in Julio's case, may even do some good. The Cuban farmer showed Ruptly how he treats his body pains by allowing scorpions to sting him, Julio appears to be in good health at his farm in Los Palacios, and getting stung by scorpions actually appears to be helping. However, we definitely don't recommend trying Julio's natural remedy at home. Scorpion stings can have nasty effects, and some are even deadly, so if you are stung by a scorpion, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
