Gaahhh, can you sew up a belly button?

[TotallyBursar]

Or maybe stuff a cork in it or something?

I shifted some garden waste earlier and I was annoyed but not worried by a very itchy waistband.
I had tree bits everywhere but we were burning it all & would only get more scratchy bits on me so I left it. This was my first mistake.

I got in the bath and my belly button was still stabby and itchy, so I armed my self with tweezers to try and get a splinter out.

It was not a splinter.
It was a fecking huge bug of unknown species, at least dog sized, probably carnivorous. I would be prepared to swear I saw fangs.

It obviously saw my weaponry and made a dash for it...down my leg
It's gone now but I don't know where...I can feel it watching me. It could swim, nowhere is safe.

What if waits unti I'm asleep and tries to eat my face? What if it liked my belly button and decides to get back in ?

This is the single most disturbing thing I've ever read on mumsnet.

I think you need to move. It's the only option as far as I can see. Run far, run fast.

Are you sure it got into the belly button from outside in the first place?

Fuuuck. If it can live in a belly button, it can live in a bath. Helpful. Ahem.

You need to leave the house now, and never go back

Wait, you're not still in the bath are you? Get out of the bathroom, bar the door, then burn the house down. Update us when you're done.

Stop gardening forever it's too dangerous.

Seek alcohol immediately, keep drinking till you can't remember where your belly button is. Then if the carnivorous giant bug with fangs returns you won't be able to give it directions,

Are you sure it climbed down your leg. Check your pubes for eyeballs.

eugh. Are you sure it wasn't a tick?

Oh my fuck, Ugh, ick, ewwww!

I really have nothing else to say except thank you for the heebie jeebies

What the actual fuck?

Where is it now? Still in the bath? Down the plug?

I hope you don't live near me.

This reminds me. Gross story alert.

Read a story once where someone went hiking in like the Amazon or somewhere, got an infection in his big toe, took his hunting knife to burst the blister, pressed it and out popped thousands of insect larvae.

AAAHHHHH!!!

That's the scariest post ever

What are you going to do? How are you going to sleep?

This is almost like sporn, but ALIVE.

Thanks Hearts.

I feel sick reading this thread

Sorry op. Can anyone help the op at all? Rather than just shit her up more?

Oh my god

Ticks can't swim so if it was a tick it is now dead.

No not a tick. I would be positively cock a hoop if it was just a tick.

It may not have been actually dog sized. But when suddenly part of some alien horror film panic does set in ever so slightly.

It is still here though - and I am not ok with that. I don't care if that makes me a wuss - but this whole situation is not ok!

Hey, look on the bright side maybe you'll get used to it being around.

I'm shuddering here (and I'm the sort who removes spiders for the rest of the family) but this has freaked me out!

I'm glad my belly button is a bit of an 'outy' one. Is yours quite deep like a breeding ground then OP?

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

earwig?

Sorry. I will stop now.

Could it have been a centipede? They look scary and go like the clappers but the worst that can happen is you get a bite. Do you have any stinging/itching?

Did it have wings? Maybug?

Or worse. Cockroach.
