Pediculus Humanus Capitas

Commonly known as nits, cooties, lice or louse.

Delusional Parasitosis!
Ever noticed how your head starts to itch whenever head lice are mentioned?

*Delusional Parasitosis is a mistaken belief that one is being infested by parasites such as mites, lice, fleas, spiders, worms, bacteria, or other organisms.

I can't stand ****roaches and spiders. When I was a kid I had a huge spider get caught up in my hair. My hair was/is long and curly so it would be an easy place for a spider to get lost in. I only realised it was there when I felt the tickling around my neck. It seemed like ages before my brother got it off me but it probably wasn't. It didn't help that I was jumping around everywhere. I remember crying and that was it. I had a fear of big spiders after that. I'm fine around daddy longlegs or small spiders but I just can't handle the big hairy ones.

i know they are harmless, and i've seen people let huntsman crawl all over them, but if someone offered me 1 million dollars to relax and let a huntsman crawl around on my stomach, i physically would not be able to do it... especially if it decided to travel south.

This thread has made me realise something...

I'm not as fearless as I thought I was. And perhaps more vulnerable than I thought, as well.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this regard.

My evil best friend made me watch "Clown House" one night to try and quell my fear..... that was until I freaked out and locked myself in the bathroom

i'm scare of heights. Even if I'm sitting in the lounge room watching tv, i feel scare if they have a camera shot, shooting down from a tall building.

 

[mouldy_bread]

I'm scared of bugs crawling in my ears, this fear was made even worse when I watched a movie where some guy had a roach crawl into his ear and they had to pour hot wax in his ear to get it out, ahhhh!

[CJ]

My only phobia is Height. You wont catch me jumping out of a plane. Why jump out of a perfectly good plane!

As goes for spiders, since i'm the only on in my family who isn't affraid of them, it me who gets rid of them. I usually just use a tissue to cach it. (or a broom/mortein if it is out of reach and then I use a tissue!)

BUT we did have a cat once who ate them. I sometimes held him up to the wall and he catch it and eat it even the ones sprayed with mortein! I think he ate to many though, he died!!

 

[Possumisagun]

Stepladders scare the heck out of me... not necessarily heights though... nothing you can say will convince me that they are sturdy.

 

[The Legend]

Clowns. Heights. the prospect of being buried alive (in a coffin). All of these things are lousy to me.

 

[Lidge]

Waking up in bed after a bender and finding both Celine Dion & Amanda Vanstone in the cot (naked!).

Not a pleasant nightmare that one

Two cannibals ate a clown.

One said to the other " do you think that tasted funny? "

I can relate. The only time I've ever been stung by a bee the stupid thing flew in my ear and I squished it in there with my finger. Screamed my little head off.

 

[Beffery]

Going into rainforests...

One of my friends went to one in QLD and suffered from headaches a week after she got home. It ends up that a tick went into her ear when she was there and was buring it's way further and further in.. YUCK
