From: someone Originally posted by Pypo Chung Here's a sickening story for you. I don't attract bugs or anything but this actually happened to me in my bed. One night i was sleeping, and work up with a powerful itch in my left under arm. Thinking nothing of it, i ran down for breakfast where the itch kept tickling me. I scratched at it and showed mommie (i was  and said not to worry. After about an hour of scratching something started dripping. It was not blood either. After about 5 more minutes of this, a piece of my fore arm 'peeled' off and on it was a stag beetle!! I think i killed it when i was scratching underneath it, but the darn thing took off a piece of my skin! I freaked and threw him outside and repeatedly stepped on him till was bug guts.........about 30 mins later freaking out at the hole in my arm, my dog ate the bug's reminds......I laughed histerically at that  @_@ And i thought all i had to worry about were bot fly larva and that cocroach that burrows into your tounge and lays its eggs in there so it can feast upon soft flesh of the tounge.. And i had allways kinda liked beetles |

I used to live in extreme West Texas, and there was NO shortage of creepy crawlers in that high desert environment.
Two examples having to do with scorpions in this case.
My girlfriend (at the time) and I were returning from a nite out, and as we entered the house a scorpion stung her on her big toe. Her being from Asia, and I being from Minnesota, we freaked out. We thought she was going to die! I rushed her to the hospital and the docs were fairly casual about it, told her they weren't the deadly type in that area of the world and to go home, take an antihistamine and let it run it's course. *Whew* BUT, LOL
her leg swelled like a balloon all the way from toes to thigh and was in SEVERE pain for the rest of the nite..
The other was a neighbor, she got stung on her face by one while sleeping in bed. Was a lot more serious because her throat started to swell shut, they gave her medicine and kept her a day but she lived too.
I was told you need to go to Mexico or Arizona for the deadly ones here in North America, and that they are black in color vs. the translucent white we had where I used to live.
*Starts having flashbacks of Black Widows, Vinegaroons, HUGE Millipedes...YUCK!*

But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

Ick ick ick, I hate bugs.
Back in my hometown just north of Boston, we get earwigs, probably the creepiest bug I've ever had to deal with.
That's say a lot considering I've spent a few summers at camp in a dirt floor tent in Souther Noklahoma, as well as in the deep woods of Nes Hampshire, so I've see nall kinds of creepy crawlers, but man, ear wigs are the worst.
I think it's the fact that they can hide in sthe smallest and most twisted of areas, can jump, have those long thin bodies ,adn have pinchers. IIIIIICk, I hate those damn bugs. They even hide in the handle of the trash container. During hte summers, I will not touch a trash containter without spraying it with something that I'm sure will take off some of my brain cells.
*shudder* I haaaaaaaaaaaaate earwigs.

I wonder if that episode of...hmm, Twighlight Zone, Outer Limits, whatever....about the earwig has anything to do with that?
