Woman, 20, Stung by Scorpion in Zara Changing Room

The shopping mall said pest control was of utmost importance.

A student was rushed to the hospital after being stung by a scorpion in the dressing room of a Zara store. Alice Spies, a 20-year-old architecture student, was trying on clothes when the scorpion made its way up her leg before stinging her at the store at the Park Shopping in Guara, Brazil. She experienced a sharp pain and felt dizzy before spotting the offending yellow scorpion. Images seen by the Daily Beast suggest the arachnid didn’t survive the encounter, although this has not been confirmed. Local medics were called at around midday during the incident this week, The Sun reports, giving Spies first aid before putting her in a wheelchair. From there, she was taken directly to the Asa Norte Regional Hospital, where she was given fluids as part of the five-hour treatment. Per a statement via The Sun, the shopping mall said it takes pest control seriously. A Zara spokesperson said: “Zara deeply regrets what happened and confirms that it is in direct contact with the customer, providing all necessary assistance. We take this case very seriously and are working to ensure that all appropriate preventative measures are taken.”
