Chilopodophobia

[five sounds]

phobias are weird.

i'm uncomfortable with how much i'm afraid of centipedes. i had one crawl on me in the shower once, and ever since, i've been straight-up phobic. i feel like i should be able to just reason my way out of it, but no luck yet.

I don't blame you. When backpacking, I sometimes sleep out in the open or under a tarp, and I wake up in the morning and see all of these bugs crawling on me, so I'm pretty immune to their creepy effects. But, centipedes do have more effect on me because their legs tickle so much, and they feel much bigger than they are because of them. Also, they bite and are sometimes venomous. There is one more fact I could tell you about them, but I'll spare you the torment.
