The boss is away out of town today.
I'm busy, but I'm busy on my own time or when someone comes in and requires me for something mundane. Anyway, I was wondering, what disgusting thing everyone finds fascinating?
I have two.
1) Marilyn Manson. He fascinates me. He's so... something. I can't figure it out. I just have to look. He fills me with wonderment and that is all I can say.
2) Worms. Not earth worms. Intestinal worms. Parasites. They are so disgusting and after studying about them, I will never walk barefoot again. I will forever wash my hands at all times. Better yet, I'll keep my hands under running water and liquid soap and hand sanitizer.
Did you know you can get hook worms from walking barefoot? Those little bitches are SMART. They go under the skin of your foot, worm their way up into your lungs, into your respiratory tract, into your mouth where you swallow them and then they go into your small intestine to live and hatch. It's common in third world countries but can be found everywhere because dogs or cats that are infected with them use the bathroom - the worms live in the soil and if you go barefoot, that's how people can become infected.
Tapeworms can reach up to 9 feet in length.
You can get those from eating undercooked meat.
Pinworms
Whipworm
Guinea Worm (Although this one isn't intestinal, it is still disgusting).
There is a slew of those nasty things... and I just can't help but read about it. Why? What is wrong with me?
Also, this is completely off topic, but, I had a squirrel digging in my flowers and really tearing them up. Instead of just killing the beast, I went to the garden center and explained what was happening. They told me to use this liquid fence stuff. You spray it around and it sends out a scent that deters them away. It works great. The problem is, it turns kind of powdery after it drys. I swept it away earlier and I unknowingly got it on my face and lips. I realized this when I licked my lips and tasted a bitter chemicle taste. I spit it out immediately, but at any rate, if I have poisoned myself, I may die. If that is the case, I just wanted to say goodbye in a proper way.
Goodbye, cruel world. I'm leaving you today. Goodbye. Goodbye... Goodbye. -
Hmm. I love dissection of any kind of living creature. I haven't dissected a human, but I will if I get in to do medicine at university. I think it's amazing how everything works together... I love this programme where they dissect actual bodies. I'd provide a link, but I'm not sure it's suitable. If you put "Autopsy emergency room" into youtube you should find something on it.
-
-
I can handle anything like that. The one thing I cannot handle is bug icker. That makes me sick everytime.
-
-
Ah, I thought you might be able to. What is bug icker?
-
-
Bug guts and goo... *gags* I cannot stand it. Like if someone steps on a bug and goo is everywhere.
-
-
Oh, I see!
Are there very large bugs where you live, perhaps?
-
-
There are beetles. Those can get pretty big and if you don't see one and step on it, it can crunch loudly and goo oozes out of it. Umm, there are some pretty big spiders and I'm pretty phobic of those. I've trained myself to stick pins in spiders. No goo, just a slow death for them. I'm sure there are roaches somewhere. Those are very disgusting and totally unacceptable anywhere. Not to mention they spread all types of diseases.
Someone is teaching me how to accept spiders. So I haven't pinned one in a while. I still don't like them so much, but I don't hate them either. We have an issue with some Black Widows at the complex I'm working/living in. Not in the buildings but in the maitenance man's tool shed. I will never accept those. Their bulbous bodies gives me tremors. Those little fuzzy spiders that jump are cute. I can learn to like those... from a distance.
I was on my way to the doctor the other week and Jonny was driving me there. I was happy and talking when suddenly I felt a tickle on my arm. I looked and it was a spider. I freaked out really hard and started screaming and crying. We were sitting at a red light and the people in the car next to us was looking at me and laughing. I felt pretty stupid. The last thing a person with a phobia of spiders needs is a spider on their arm. -
-
Oh, I guess that would be pretty disgusting, then. It's far too cold where I live to get big insects. I don't like the way spiders can jump so far and catch you unawares, but I'm not really afraid of them. I think some actually look quite majestic. But, then, I've never properly seen a spider that's bigger than a coin.
Oh, that's not very nice. Especially since you have a phobia... That is the last thing you want. I have a fear of being touched without me saying it's okay first. That's not very fun because people like to touch a lot. And walking through a big crowd of people isn't fun either because they are always brushing past... It's the stupidest fear ever! -
-
When you see a spider bigger than your face that looks like it could quite easily eat your for lunch then you will understand. Ick!
-
-
Well, I hope that day never comes!
-
-
Any normal person would. The one I saw was a wolf spider I believe. Supposedly not dangerous, but I kept my distance... I like my face thank you.
-
-
Oh, gosh. All the people I know who complain about the tiny spiders we get here should count themselves lucky, I guess...
-
-
Yep. Well, I don't see spiders like that often, but I don't go looking. One the size of a grain of rice creeps me out enough.
-
-
Oh, I like the tiny ones. My mum calls them money spiders. They are supposed to mean that you will get rich, but I've seen hundreds and it hasn't happened yet...
-
-
Even the tiny ones cause me paranoia. No no no. They don't bring money; they brink creepiness!
-
-
Oh, the tiny ones can't hurt you! They're just trying to get on in life....

Hey! Roaches rock! When the world leaders snap and plunge is into WWIII with nukes being the primary weapon, roaches will be the only ones to survive. I say we should worship the roaches, because they'll be here long after we are.
-
-
Actually, roaches won't do so well if humanity suddenly disappeared. They live off the decaying food scraps and trash we live laying around, and once that stuff is gone, they're screwed.
-
-
Ewww! Spiders are demon spawns in disguise! That's kinda funny what you do to them . . . I'd be too terrified to stab them!
Beetles with goo? Sick! -
-
Spiders kick ass.
-
-
They do?
-
-
I had to spray the spider with some amonia first to slow it down, then I would stick a pin in it. It was thrapeutic for me.
Any bug with goo. Sick!
-

-
-
-
-
-
Oh, and I hope you don't die!
-
-
I don't think I will. But from now on, I think I'll just wash down the patio instead of sweeping it.
-
-
Aids. And HIV. Totally fascinated by it. So much,in fact, that I'm making a career out of being fascinated by it.
Oh, no you can't die! Who would be mildly sarcastic yet always lovable in your absence? -
-
That's very admirable. Good for you. What made you interested in it?
Don't worry. I would haunt.
-
-
Definitely serial killers and cannibalism. Sooooooooo interesting, the more disturbing, the more fascinating.
-
-
Absolutely. The only form of cannibalism that is interesting to me is the form that people do because of insanity. Not tribes. Tribal cannibalism isn't disgusting, it's their culture so therefore it takes all the wonder out of it. They do it because it's just what they do.
Jeffery Dhamer on the other hand did it because he was just insane. And he rubbed the rotting corpses before he went to bed. Fascinating! A freezer full of fresh meat. Mmmmmm. I would have loved to have talked to him. To see what made him... him. What drives a person to gain the trust of someone, bring them home for drinks and conversation then kill them, cut them up into parts, store them in your freezer and wherever else you felt like it, cook them when you got hungry....
Ed Gein. There's a sad story in a funny sort of way.
-
-
GOD! WHY did you have to talk about hookworms?!
-
-
Because they are disgusting and pretty darn smart for a parasite. These things have tactics. They could conqure the entire world with the tactics they have.
-
-
Ergh! I'm already hesitant around most bugs, but it's the kind that can actually get inside you that make me scream! I can't talk about them! I'm shivering as I was going to tell you something in detail, but I feel like I'm going to puke now.
-
-
Oh. please tell me the details of what you were going to say. Don't puke. Just take deep breaths. Slowly.
There was this one image of this little boy about 4 years old that had roundworms crawling out of his nose and mouth. It said if the worms won't come out anally they can come out that way. I felt so sad for that baby boy.
I'm glad I live in an area where that isn't the norm.
-
-
I'm all arm-jerky now, you know?
Anyway, there was this homeless woman who had a worm collection. And in order to keep them safe, she put the worms in open wounds on her body. There were 16 in all, I think. -
-
And I mean, like earthworms.
-
-
That is weird. Where did this happen?
Reminds me of Vlad the Impaler. I'm sure you know that's where the Vampire stories come from, but, he would get his victims and sew them up into the stomach's of horses.
I have to admit, he had it going on when it came to ways of killing people. He was warped.

I had tape worms once when I was little. ._. Got um from my "sister". ._.;
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
I'm not quite sure what disgusting thing I'm fascinated with. ._. When writing I seem to have an intense fascination with venom and bleeding, pulsing hearts and sometimes skeletons, corpses, and organs and stuff, including stomach acid and stuff...but in real life, the whole subject makes me rather queazy. ._. Really not good with gore and stuff. *looks ill from the topic* I couldn't even look at an illustrated drawing of the organs in past years. ._.; -
-
Oh no! How big did they get? I'm sorry.
That is strange that you can write about gore but not look at it. It's probably a good thing I didn't post a link to the guinea worm site I found. Those things are gross... okay, I'll link it but you might not want to look. -
This is what a site said about guinea worms... allaboutworms.com
"The Guinea Worm (Dracunculus Medinensis), the largest worm of the tissue parasite affecting humans, is often referred to as the “fiery serpent”, most likely because of the debilitating and painful disease it causes known as “Guinea worm disease” (dracunuliasis}. This disease typically affects the most depressed areas of Africa and the Saharas, but has also been found in the Middle East, Asia, Arabia and among some of the world’s most struggling people.
The life and survival of the Guinea worm is unique in many ways, often requiring a year for full development of the parasite. The cycle of the Guinea worm begins with the female, often measuring upward of a meter in length while barely 2mm in diameter. The female worms are found in or under the skin of the host: humans. As the female nears the later stages of pregnancy, she begins to fill with numerous embryos; the female is usually found in the feet, ankles, or legs. The female’s body ruptures, releasing the juvenile worms into the host’s skin and resulting in an intense and painful allergic reaction, eventually forming a papule or cyst on the skin. In time, the papule bursts open, exposing the juvenile worms and female worm providing the opportunity to move to another host. Human hosts infected with the guinea worm often use water to cleanse the infection and soothe the pain, providing the parasite the opportunity to transfer to water. An intermediate host, a copepod, eats the guinea worm and drinking this same water infects the human host.
The cycle is by no means over, however. Once the parasite is back in the human host, the juvenile worms travel from the intestinal tract, through the abdominal cavity, and into the subcutaneous connective tissues. Here, the males fertilize the females, and the males die. The females will then migrate to the surface, the skin, develop further and reach sexual maturity, and finally start the process all over again.
As would be expected, serious complications occur from the dracunuliasis. The sores that are produced when the skin ruptures, are often susceptible to bacterial infections and abscesses. At times, the worm may not find its way to the skin, and areas around joints are prey to chronic arthritis. Because there is no vaccine or immunity to infection, humans are often re-infected. And while there a variety of drugs used to treat dracunuliasis, the most common form of treatment is to simply attach the female worm to a stick and wind."
Here's an image of one:

There were other links but they were either extremely graphic as it showed a very young child with literally about 900 roundworms coming out of his behind or they weren't very good for images.
This is enough for you to get the idea but not so gross that the Mods would care. I don't think.
-

Umm... Probably autopsies and the like. It amazes me to watch them all but dismantle the body and what not.
Also, if you have seen the show Fear Itself, things like that. Obviously not just the show itself. But the random things they choose to make it about. The playing upon of the irrational fears of the unsuspecting. That's not so much disgusting as is the "I need to throw up now" sort but more in the "Oh my gosh! You are so twisted for being interesting in that stuff" sort of way. It amazes me to see the ways that a person's irrational fears rule their lives. I would suppose I could summed that up in just saying the human mind, but it's more of the way it tortures itself that amazes me. -
Necrotizing fasciitis!
-
-
That's always fun.
Just cross your fingers you don't ever get it. -
-
Considering it's rather rare, I'd say the odds are in my favor that I won't.
I had posted a link here containing rather graphic images of it, but decided to take it down. Last thing I need is the mod squad breathing down my neck. -
-
Fair enough. However, I bet that's what the people that wound up getting it said at first too.
Aw, that's too bad. I probably would've looked at it. That's a good point though. Although, I don't think they come around here very often. They seem have sprees where they haunt the pub and the policy board though... -
I used to be so paranoid of getting it. I kept a bottle of Bactine, some Neosporin and Band Aids in my purse and if I so much as got the slightest scratch I was spraying, smearing and bandaging. It was quite pathetic.

I'm fascinated by politics. Is that disgusting enough?
-
-
YOU SICK BASTARD.
-
And I thought I was sick in the head.
-
-
Rigor mortis. I know it's *rather* simple, but it's still amusing.
Dissecting things, and of course rotting corpses I pass on my biking escapades. Decaying organisms are fascinating.
-
Learning about nasty little diseases and their effects..Like smallpox and herpes and that kind of junk.Stuff that creeps me out facsinates me.
-
I always watch the health channel when they take the little camera's inside peoples like stomachs and brains. lol I used to be sickly afriad of blood but I deffinatly got used to it since I want to be a doctor. lol :]

The brain is a wonder. It's so soft and pokable. I like to see it pulsing when it's being operated on.
Speaking of brains, did you know that a severed head can still see for almost a minute after being decapitated? That must be harsh for the victim to see it's own body without a head.
