SAN FRANCISCO / ATLANTA — A woman on a United Airlines plane got a nasty stowaway that turned what should've been a relatively uneventful flight into a painful one.<br /><br />According to TMZ, the lady was on a flight from San Francisco to Atlanta Thursday morning when she felt a stinging sensation on her leg. She went to the lavatory when it intensified, and that's when a very much alive scorpion fell out of her pants leg and scurried away.<br /><br />As if snakes on a plane wasn't bad enough, now we gotta worry about these venomous little buggers?!<br /><br />Flight attendants — bless them — eventually caught the scorpion.<br /><br />According to a United Airlines statement, medics treated the passenger as soon as the plane landed in Atlanta. She was taken to the hospital, and is going to be just fine.<br /><br />No word on how the scorpion ended up on the plane, but we've got a few ideas.
