Just a quick note up top. So this Scorpiology interview originally aired about a year and a half ago

but thanks to a very kind and generous right up about allergies in this week's New Yorker magazine. What?

I wanted to give it an encore because the articles author Rachel Sime said that this was the episode that got her hooked.

So if you're here because the New Yorker, hi, hello. If you have already heard this episode, I promise it's worth a

relic in because it really is chock-a-blockful, a weird fact. And Dr. Esposito made a return appearance and gives us some

updates about her life as well as has a message for all of G-Sylcers. So okay, here we go. Oh hey, it's a lady in front of you

and then check out with 26 items who doesn't realize she's in the express lane in this fully oblivious to your

auto play and you're like, new, do play the Scorpion one. It's too light, bitch. It's playing. You're in this now. Don't

press stop. Don't. This one is amazing. I promise that there are facts in this episode. You will drop in conversation and it will make you one

fucking forgettable. Okay, first really quick. Thank you patrons for making the show possible via patreon.com slash

allergies. For as little as a dollar a month, you can submit questions toologists and buckle the hell up because I'm about to

hagfish and be comfortable with death and see the beauty and moss and spiders and everything else. Listen to this podcast. It will change

your life. Thanks museum eve. Okay, scorpiology. Hell to the yes. This is a real allege. It's a subset of a

rachnology. A rachnids. And scorpion comes from the Greek. Are you ready for this? For scorpion. Okay, that is not

something that made me say, oh my god. All right, so thisologist I met under very very weird circumstances two years ago

in a dusty field in the middle of nowhere at a festival for burning man types. Well, we were both speaking on a panel about science. We were

a little wide eyed and just kind of sussing things out. I dug her immediately. I've wanted her on for so long
