What was supposed to be a regular kitchen routine turned into a nightmare for one woman when she discovered a live scorpion inside a capsicum she was preparing to cook. The incident, captured on camera and shared via the Instagram page 'Abhi Cuisine' in May, quickly went viral.
In the video, the woman recounts what she found when she was preparing a capsicum-based recipe and she sliced open the vegetable. To her horror, a scorpion emerged. The visuals captured it lying between the cut pieces on a plate.
“Dekhiye kya dikh gaya… bichhoo, yaani ki scorpion,” she says, pointing at the creature with a knife, clearly startled by what she found.
At first, she thought it was lifeless. But as she nudged it gently with her knife, the scorpion began to move.

She warned viewers about how dangerous such creatures can be, saying, “Yeh kaafi poisonous aur dangerous hota hai (This is very poisonous and dangerous)."
While finding worms in fruits and vegetables is not new, she admitted that this experience was different.
“Bahut hi unexpected tha,” she said.
“Fruits, vegetables mein worms nikalna aam baat hai. Maybe iske neeche wale portion mein koi hole ya crack tha jisse yeh enter kar gaya. Par bahut hi scary experience tha (Finding worms in vegetables is common. Maybe there was a hole or crack through which it entered. But this was a very scary experience)," she added.
Comments
Netizens reacted to the clip and said, “That’s really shocking! Just a reminder to always wash and inspect veggies thoroughly before cooking".
“Ohh! Yes, now it’s rainy season so be aware,” added another.
