What's been your most disgusting encounter with an insect?

Question

Anyone got any insect horror stories?

Answer 1

I use to live in Oroville, California and had a small store called Morning Glory. I was situated in 500 square feet store across from the cannery there by the railroad tracks.

One day I grew hungry and went to the back cupboard and pulled out a bag of chips and grabbed a soda from the refer.

I popped the pop and took a long drink. Unfolded the chip bag top and popped them into my mouth. They didn't feel right they wiggled and I spit them out. I had scooped up a Japanese cockroach and when I picked up the bag and looked inside I found it was swarming with them. Disgusted I tossed the bag in the outside trash can. When to the store and bought some Listern and garggled until my mouth was sore.

I called the landlord and complained and he laughed. He thought the story was funny till I told him I would sue then he came over and sprayed and I never saw one of those huge monsters again.

Japanese cockraches ( I have no idea how the name started or if they are a breed) are huge. They are about 3" long and 2 " wide.

Answer 2

My encounter surpasses any insect encounter.
A long time ago I used to play softball. While walking with my friend on the way to practice, a bird pooped right on my head!
THEN...to make matters worse on the way home in same exact spot, ANOTHER bird pooped on my head AGAIN!!! LOL!!

My friend was dyin' laughing!...She actually told the story at my wedding reception...(all my bridesmades roasted me!) I can laugh about it now. Don't you think that's worse than any bug incident? Besides who gets crapped on twice in one day?! LOL!

Not oogy, but one warm day I was washing the floor & since housework goes better w/liquor, enjoying a nice wine cooler. A wasp flew in & stung my lip as I took a swig. My mouth swelled up & was popping Benadryl like a mad woman because I was going into anaphylactic shock. The same afternoon my neighbor ended up in the hospital with - you guessed it, anaphylactic shock. He was only diagnosed after he vomited up a bee - which had flown into his beer. I keep a cap or whatnot on open drinks these days.

Answer 4

I awoke one night while sleeping on the couch, and felt a tingling and ticklish feeling on my arm. From the light of the tv I saw a thousand legs. It was a gaint centipede. It must have been four inches long. I screamed and wiped it off me. I think awoke up the whole neighborhood. I then proceeded to scratch all the flesh off my arm where the damn thing was. It took days to forget the feeling of all those legs on my arm.

Answer 5

I was pinched by 3 earwigs yesterday, but I still like the little guys and think they're cute (and they care for their young for like 2 months in the nest). I know I'm weird...but insects are cool.

Answer 6

Whenever you eat live insects accidentally. (the horror-meter rises proportionally to the size of the insect.)

Answer 7

Having a live leech (I know, not really an insect but I am still freaked out by it) put on my leg as a joke. It was FAR from funny!!

Answer 8

Went hiking in the woods. Got covered with ticks. Counted over 100.

Answer 9

Oh yeah. I worked night shift, so when I came home at 7am-ish, I went to sleep. Come 1pm, my fiance came in the room and woke me up, only for me to notice that a cockroach was crawling around in my mouth. THE MOST DISCUSTING MOMENT OF MY LIFE. I scrubbed out my mouth like a mothafunka, that's for sure. Ew yuck, its giving me chills just typing about it.

Answer 10

Those creepy, pale-white crickets that live underground still freak me out.
Snakes, spiders, etc, no problem.
But, I had one of those pale crickets fall into the back of sweatshirt, and I could feel it squirming around on my neck.
That happened when I was a teen, and, even tho I'm a guy, those still bug me.
