Do you have a phobia?

Anything, unless it’s a mosquito or a fly or something like that. I can’t get past their legs man, and the fact that they like to hide. Or if it’s a large flying insect where it doesn’t buzz but makes a clacking sound and can barely hold itself up in flight. Anything louder than a fly.. Deuces… I’m out.

With the wood tick, we went hiking/camping and when we got back home, in the left lower part of my neck and head, I kept scratching a bump that I thought was a mosquito bite. I went to sleep with it back there and woke up and went to work with it back there, thinking it was a mosquito bite. It just kept itching. My wife saw that I kept scratching it and wanted to look at it. When she said that’s not a mosquito bite but a wood tick, I freaked. She pulled it out and it left a small hole that later healed. See what I’m saying? A hole? That’s crazy. Other than that situation, I’ve never been stung or bitten, I just don’t like them. I don’t know where the phobia came from.

My wife has one of these.

I told her if it gets out, and she can’t find it, I’ll either sleep in the car or set the house on fire. LOL
