Woman stung by a scorpion on Canadian flight.

A woman has been stung by a scorpion on board an Air Transat flight from Toronto to Calgary last month.

The plane was in the final hour of its four-hour journey on February 26 when student Quin Maltais, who is from Canada's Yukon territory but is studying in Alberta, started to feel a fluttering on her lower back.

She initially ignored it, assuming it was just the plane's air conditioning.

However, a short while later, when the lights went down and the plane was preparing to land, she was suddenly struck by a "piercing" pain where the fluttering had been.
