Saudi citizen Abdulrahman Al-Rashed experienced a surprising situation while performing prayer in a Saudi desert area. He was surprised to find a scorpion burrow right in front of him. This coincided with the start of the "Wasm" season, which witnesses a large turnout for desert trips and camping. This scene prompted him to film an awareness video warning desert goers in the Kingdom and the Gulf states of the dangers posed by the spread of scorpion burrows during this period.

 

In the widely circulated video, Al-Rashed explained the details of the scorpion's burrow and how to identify it. He then poured water into the burrow to show viewers what was hiding inside. The scorpion quickly emerged, causing astonishment and terror at the same time. Al-Rashed asserted that such burrows can be located close to places where hikers sit or sleep, without them even realizing it.

 

 

Al-Rashed urged anyone heading out into the desert during the Wasm season to exercise extreme caution and not to pray or sit in sandy areas before ensuring they are free of burrows. He emphasized the need to inspect the area thoroughly and carry first aid kits in case of any stings that might occur in a moment of inattention.
