Hi..YIKES!! I know how frightening that is, having 3 or 4 times run in to scorpions here in Arizona and also in California.
Don't panic. As far as I know, scorpions CAN be very dangerous to small children, the elderly, and small pets.
Google scorpions in your area of Portugal to see about your particular species.
I now always, out of habit, do a visual inspection after moving anything (shower curtain, linens, etc) Also shake out clothing and shoes, etc before putting them on.
I always thought scorpions were a desert hazard, until coming across a brown one in a quite damp area in California while moving logs piled up for a campfire.
Be CAREFUL..they're creepy and can be dangerous!...Janice
