So you haven’t watched the video of one walking across the guy’s face? I know they’re mostly harmless to humans, but the reptile part of my brain is going nope,nope, nope…And I like insects/arachnids, generally.

They are loving moms, so they can’t be all bad. 😃

If your brain really had a reptile component, it would be saying, “yes, stick the tongue out and catch/eat the dinner now.” 😃

I saw that thread too. No idea how this gets to be an erotic turn-on.

I learned my lesson long ago not to click on that stuff. I have Googled all of the terms I didn’t recognize to read text descriptions but I avoided any images. The descriptions I can handle intellectually but the photos would haunt me.

Maybe it was…:eek:

There are a few of these so far that I’d never heard of, and while I haven’t clicked all of them I did get adventurous enough to look up cancrum oris among others. Scary to think that there are diseases like that and I can quite understand why it would be hard to look at, especially IRL. There are some I definitely wish I hadn’t looked up; advanced leprosy is one of those…

One of the things I find really interesting are the things that others find disturbing. Most of the sexual ones don’t squick me out, but a some of the medical ones do. For others it may be completely the reverse or something else entirely.

The human parasitic ones are really gross, generally.
