For me it would have to be ...
1) potato bug



2) roach


Cockroaches in your gourmet dinner? Maybe not as a main dish, but they have been used in sauces, condiments and as appetizers.

Don't complain next time you have to swallow cough syrup. You could be taking a dose of cockroaches instead! Processed cockroaches have been used to cure illnesses and physical disorders for centuries.

More cockroach tea, anyone? Brewed from cockroaches, this tea has been used to treat dropsy--a kind of sickness or inflammation.

Next time you have trouble going pee, and your urinary tract just doesn't want to go with the flow, why not try dried and powdered Oriental cockroaches? They are said to make a dandy diuretic.

Eat too much pizza? Cotton candy? Thanksgiving dinner? Some people eat cockroaches fried in oil and garlic as a cure for indigestion.



3) maggots






That's pretty much the ones that gross me out the most.

What about you?

I had no idea about maggots...

Maggots are also used occasionally in the field of medicine, as are leeches. Maggots are used to eat dead tissue, helping to clean open wounds.

During the Civil War in the United States, and World War I, battlefield physicians saw that soldiers' wounds that were infested with maggots tended to heal better than non-infested wounds. Soon 'maggot therapy' was being used to clean festering and foul-smelling wounds. Maggots not only eat the rotten flesh, they also get rid of harmful bacteria in the wound.


More than 200 hospitals in the U.S. and Europe have prescribed maggots of the Blowfly to treat patients with infections from injuries like pressure ulcers ("bed sores"), leg and foot ulcers, stab wounds, and post-surgical wounds that won't heal properly

Bugs really don't freak me out too much, but I would freak out if a doctor came into my room and stuck maggots into an open sore on me.

I think I would have to be sedated at that point.

ewww, all those bugs gross me out!! that potato bug is a nasty looking thing.

i hate bugs of all kinds lol....horseflys, all the creepy kind of bugs that infest gardens....gives me the creeps.

spiders. without question. the bigger they are the bigger a squeeling girl i become. and if they are all hairy, forget about it.


roaches and maggots don't freak me out per se. they just gross me out to no end.

actually, i don't like bugs in general. i don't have a problem with them living..... as long as they don't get on my person.

Me=arachnophobia!


I hate spiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Cockroachs make a nice sound when you stamp on them.

Yup, cockroaches have white blood.

Black widow spider

Spiders!

Small, big they are nothing but toe jam.

all of the above.

Volkswagen does it for me.

yikes !!!

Ticks, and that is about it. Anything I can't identify crawling on me will startle me, but once I see what it is I recover quickly. Ticks on the other hand...
If it is on me then I have all day jumping at any thing on me
If it is feeding on me then it is two days of jumping up and stripping to see what I felt
If there are more than one feeding on me than that is three days of heebie jeebies.

Not that they are bugs but leaches would freak me out too. If it is parasitic to humans, no spiders are not parasitic IMO, than I feel it is my duty to destroy it.

Immortal, he one in the pic is one of those flying ones. It's a young one that hasn't received it's wings yet.

Next time you find one, instead of stamping it into the ground, hold it's body between your fingers and pull on it's head. All that white stuff..... comes out in a sack. LOL

Poor old cockroach. The most maligned insect known.

Croc.

lol, sounds the dishes at my place. We haven't had maggots, just lots of mold/fungus growing all over the dishes.

Spiders - when I go crawling thru a crawlspace for work and get a face full of spiderweb, I go nuts...I imagine that I probably look like Curly from the three stooges trying to get the stuff off my face

Bugs don't really bother me but I was pretty startled when this monster strolled by in front of me:



Vinegaroon in desert camo, almost four inches long. After I took the pic, we had a stare-down and he had his pincers spread like he wanted to grab my nose. I didn't know he could have sprayed acid in my face.

You win! lol, wow, I'd hate to come across that little bastard...

Poptom we have those out here in Cali? eeewww... that sucker looks MEAN!

thease lil things freak me out
Krabs (pubic lice)

heh..... and people think they are relatively parasite-free........

not even close. there are many different parasites that live on people (everybody. me and you).

here's one.... eyelash mites. have a look........ http://www.geocities.com/thesciencefile ... tures.html .

Arthopods really do not bother me.

This would bother me......

June Bugs. They are realy harmless but they have this fur on their shells (The ones around here do at least). Ugh! What the heck does a beetle need fur for? Man that creeps me out.

My 2 most hated spiders would be 1:-Black widow 2:-Brown recluse spider----The black widow has besically the same effects as a rattlesnake bite, and the Brown recluse, when it bites you; your skin is destroyed by the poision. Where the spider bites, there will be a little hole, and it gets bigger over time... --"BLEAH YUCK NO THANKS"--lol

Relax, EA. Not around here. I saw this one in New Mexico and I think Arizona people may be familiar with them as well.

specifically, the bug that freaks me out the most.. Now I'm not freaked out by any bug.. but when there is many bugs then I freak out.. usually I'm more freaked out by "lotso" centipedes.. they're fast and they kinda give me the creeps.

The black widow has chiefly a neurotoxic venom, where the rattlesnake has a a mixture of mainly hemo-, proteolytic and some neurotoxin in their brew.

The poison of the black widow is far more toxic, thankfully their bite injects very little of it.

Brown Recluse.... nasty venom....

shant,

Silverfish, had on crawling on my foot one, when I noticed it, the little bastard took off like no tomorrow. BTW here is a pic of that fish that swims up your umm thing.

One night, i went into the kitchen to find this huge ****in ass spider right in the middle of the floor. I just about freaked not knowing what to do with it at 12:30 at night... fruckin things are disgusing!!!!!

terrancelam

not up my thingy!

thx for the nightmares

The dreaded camel spider.....







Basically, they spit novacaine on you to numb the part they are going to eat. Then they eat until they have a nice half dollar sized hole eaten away. You will need a skin graft to cover the hole.

NASTY!!!!!!!!!!

I know some chicks with some really nasty "camel-toe".. that could prolly do the same to ya, does that count?

eew where are these camel spiders found ?

camel spiders live in the desert, you can check out this link for some more info....

http://library.thinkquest.org/28855/cam ... qtime=1103

A hunting camel spider runs across the desert floor almost at lightning speed, and it is so fast that it is impossible for the human eye to follow. When it senses its prey, the camel spider chases after it until it is caught. The greedy camel spiders have a big appetite - they will eat and eat and eat and eat until their bodies are swollen with food and they can hardly move an inch!

uck

Those Camel Spiders are definatly some nasty pests!

Any of you military guys ( or desert guys) cxome across one of those spiders? Or see results from them?
