Insects and Health: Hello little dude

Hello little dude

By Anonymous - 19/05/2012 22:54 - United States

Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML

Today, it took a whole half hour of scratching my head before I realized with horror that the weird tickling sensation I'd been feeling was actually a spider crawling around in my hair. FML

Belly bounce

Today, I learned that a innie belly button does not clean itself. I can't begin to describe the horrors I found, after using tweezers to get thirty years worth of "contents" out from inside me. FML

Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML

A visitor

Today, I had a walk-in: a tiny tick, crawling through my bathroom window, looking down at me in the shower, wondering whether I might be tasty. The window was closed, by the way. FML

Tasty snack

Today, I was laying out in my backyard trying to get some color when I felt a little tickle on my lips. I rubbed them together to satisfy the itch, when I felt a sort of crunchiness popping between them. I had crushed a spider between my lips and its legs were still moving. FML

Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML

Today, while resting in bed, I felt a slight tickle on my neck. Thinking it was a cockroach, I panicked and flung it across the bedroom. Turns out it was my brand new necklace, which is now broken into dozens of pieces. FML

Today, I noticed a small bite on my arm. I couldn't figure out what it came from until I saw a small insect crawling out of my bra. FML

Today, while making my daily offering of turd to the porcelain throne, I took out my phone and started playing a game. I suddenly felt a tickling sensation on my leg, and I freaked out as I saw hundreds of ants had emerged from behind the toilet. FML

I hope you realize....... The head's still in there somewhere, and it will re-grow its body eventually.

How is this an fml? Tick checks are daily routine here in the South. Really not even that disgusting.

Oh goody. I sadly never thought of the navel just cause I've always have it covered... That's disgusting. :(

since we're talking about animals that can or cannot regrow body parts, id like to take this opportunity to reassure all the worriers out there that if you chop a worm in half, it doesnt regrow into 2 new worms, it dies. OP, get to the doctor/hospital to get it removed because i can imagine not removing the head properly can lead to nasty infections

Wtf!! You need to go the hospital and have that looked at. You do not want to get lime disease. They carry a lot of bacteria and viruses. Yikes, this creeped me out. How in the heck did it get there..?

Belly button? No so bad. A few years ago my neighbour found a tick located on the inner labia. Her husband unsuccesfully tired to remove it. She had to see her doctor.
