    Default itch, itch, scratch, willies, willies

    Does it make you feel "buggy" when you see bugs either in real life or on tv/books/online?

    I was curious about what a flea looks like (so i'd know for future reference) and good grief. After seeing one on the computer I feel itchy and buggy all over!!

    Does it bother you the same way?

    OMGoodness yes!! I seem to wriggle and squirm for days after seeing bugs or spiders. I also "feel" them on me I'm prone to sitting around slapping myself for no reason!!

    Bugs definitely give me the willies. Pictures of lice, mites, fleas, etc. immediately make me start scratching!

    ROFL you lot, this reminds me of the nursing class I was in years ago, when we covered this topic.

    Everyone was scratching and fidgeting, and trying NOT to show it!

    Too funny!!!!!

    A little, but thinking about a snake bothers me more. I have to lift my feet up off the floor (in my HOUSE, no less) and tuck them under me so no snakes will get me, even though I know very well there is no snake in here.
