Ew Ew EW EWW!!!

[fluffyanimal]

Last night I had a really weird dream about having an endoscopy (i have never had one in real life). It was quite vivid, I could feel the scope going down my throat which was a bit unpleasant but bearable. Then the doctors left me alone and I started to gag and try to bring up the tube.

Then I woke up and I still had the feeling of having a foreign body in my throat. I drank some water but it didn't really go away. it felt like when you accidentally swallow something that you haven't chewed properly.

AIBU to think I've probably swallowed a spider in my sleep?

Oh yes indeedy - earwigs are evil I tell you.

And never plant dahlias - earwigs love dahlias.

I hate dahlias.

I probably don't really qualify for the thread because I didn't actually swallow the slug, just had the rather unpleasant sensation of it being in my mouth before spitting it and the mouthful of lager across a field. Ah, those were the days.

You are all vile and repellent for telling me these things. And reminding me of spider down pyjama leg and humungous slug in biscuit tin while camping. Both found in semi-darkness while half asleep.

did puck up a raisin once, pop it in my mouth to realise it was a dead fly and very crunchy - boak. Knew of someone who woke up to find a huge cockroach on their lip - double boak!

Oh and was eating from an opened bag of popcorn a few days ago to look in and see an earwig in it - another boak!

My DH once trod on a slug in just his socks (my DH that is, not the slug). The squashed slug never washed out of his sock. It would dry out into a hard lump then rehydrate the next time I tried to wash it. We had to throw it away.

psiloveyou please revisit your story for me if you can bear the trauma. How did you know you had swallowed a spider?

Sleep apnoea sufferers, does it ever feel like you've swallowed a foreign body?

Anyway, I am going to tell dp about this because he lies on his back, mouth open, snoring (keeping me awake) and he is scared of spiders. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Unlike spiders (nicer warm).

OP YABU for starting this thread. I am terrified of spiders and hate even writing the word. This thread has fucked me up forever! I will be sleeping with gaffer tape over my mouth.

My Mum was in the bath once and a crane fly/daddy long legs was bumping about the room. Suddenly it crashed and landed right in her bush (as Jilly would call it).

What with the crane fly legs being about the thickness of pubes it didn't really survive her attempts to disentangle it. She said she felt like Mrs Slocombe: "Ooooh my pussy went WILD!"

I shared DH's drink the other night, it was the last of the nice drink we had left but I'd given it to him as he was upstairs sweating away putting new furniture together - he'd had it upsatirs on the window sill, all windows open as it was roasting. Anyway he comes down for dinner and I pinch a bit after we have eaten. I'm thinking, urgh he's got food in it like DS so spat out Q"food" it was only a great big bloody fly - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!! He said don't be so pathetic, we eat flys all the time when we're asleep - not like THAT I said (whilst gagging and wiping tongue) where is it he says, I show him Oh GOD!! he says ewww yak that's horrible - a massive bloody blue bottle it was too, oh gosh I feel ill now again at the thought................................

This is gross!!!

Reminds me of the time my Mum got sent home from work for being sick - Amazing as she had never ever been sick before, turns out she was sat in the staff room eating a Tesco yog when she Crunched something - she spat into a tissue revealing a COCKROACH!!! She didn't want to make a fuss so tried to run to the toilets and ended up throwing up in the corridor!!!

She got a £10 voucher from said shop and a letter a few weeks later confirming there had been "Insect particles" found inthe yog and they were "Sorry" ha ha Needless to say she doesn't eat yoghurts anymore!

See, my nan always told us to put something over the top of fizzy drinks cans 'in case a wasp flies in there'. We always thought she was being over-the-top, but clearly not...

Right, as an arachnophobe I know my enemy (a bit):

1. The seven spiders a year is a myth, however that's clearly not to say that it can't ever happen. Think about it - how on earth would you research it and definitively come up with that number??

1. The reason why a spider might be attracted to your mouth is because dampness has the same smell as spider sex hormones, which is also why they are so often found in the bath/sink. Basically they're just trying to get laid. Maybe you night-time spider eaters drool a lot

We keep a carafe of water on the kitchen work top as I don't like water straight from the fridge (sensitive teeth these days) and one of those spindly-but-big fuckers was drowning in there the other day. Horny fool.

Tidey, that is utterly appalling.

You had a slug in your mouth?
And you kiss your family??

Ewwwww x a million.

I confess, I have knowingly eaten a spider in Thailand.
But it was beautifully cooked and served with a smile.

Is eating a blue bottle a bit like eating a fig?

NO, I can eat figs without feeling like wanting to rip my tongue out and worrying over dog poo

a slug.................urgh god I gotta go, I'm also now going to have to thoroughly stir any yoghurts I eat first yak. I already have to examine tins of tomatoes after my friend once opened a tin and tipped out a small snake head......from waitrose as well!

MinnieBar this is the spider mating season, and I have seen a few large ones rampaging around our house over the last few days (happy to let them do that normally, but not if they want to rampage into my mouth!)

I had a meal served to me whilst I was at school and it had a filling in it!

Now I feel sick

Are shredded wheat like spiders legs?

Btw OP an endoscopy is more like eating a whole television set plus the stand it is on.

Cheekey I don't think anyone actually gave me an endoscopy while I was asleep LOL! Unless I was abducted and probed by aliens of course...

No....they go for the belly button

Oh my giddy aunt

Reminds me of the time I cut into a red pepper and there was a fully formed moth inside it.

AND at Christmas dinner at my mums when I took a big gulp of red wine and felt something knocking against my teeth - it was a bloody massive yet strangely dessicated spider. DM still swears it must have come out of the wine bottle, I'm more inclined to think someone didn't wipe the 'good glasses' when they took them out for their yearly airing.

Tidey, that almost distressed me as much as actually digesting a spider!!!

Did the slime stay in your mouth like it does when you step on them? (yes, have also had the misfortune of stepping on a slug bare foot)

I used to live in a very very damp bungalow. We had the following: Snails in the bedroom, slugs in the bedroom and shower, woodlice everywhere and as a consequence <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pictures/data/30/Dysdera_Crocata_9_Woodlouse_Spider.JPG&imgrefurl=www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pictures/showphoto.php/photo/57214&usg=__e7XBe0PyNiLxjaBg3nGp5A6JxOc=&h=600&w=800&sz=155&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=gx-KqIEI-G5x0M:&tbnh=111&tbnw=159&ei=BKQlTpvRE8nG8QOqytGUCw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwoodlouse%2Bspider%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D499%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=380&vpy=80&dur=2731&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=166&ty=118&page=1&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&biw=1024&bih=499" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Woodlouse spiders everywhere...

One evening I made myself a cup of tea, popped it on my bedside table ready to have a snuggle up with my new book before bed. Left the room for two minutes. I came back in and found a slug had climbed up my mug of tea, wrapped its tail round the handle and had its head in the mug, actually drinking my tea! I could see the little ripples and everything! Cheeky fucker!
