Eda.Mone Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do you guys ever get the feeling that you have something crawling on your leg and you reach down but nothing is there? Then it happens again a few seconds later and you start to flip out?\ I'm asking because now I am tempted to shave my leg hair as it is getting really bad and starting to freak me out.

See, I freak out because I'm one of those people who can feel when ticks and stuff are crawling on them and it tends to make me super nervous.

taiiat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 1 - the hair on your body is there for that exact reason. you want to have it, it's a lot of sensory information there. 2 - if a Spider was crawling on your leg, get a piece of paper or something, scoot it onto it, and then find a nice quiet corner where it can be an awesome buddy and Kill more annoying Insects for you.

Doom_Bunny Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Being hairy means you have heightened detection of everything touching you. Slight breeze: Feel that majestic mane flow across your legs. Edited May 5, 2015 by Postal_pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letter13 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That's just how leg hair do. Happens whenever I transition from long pants to shorts for the spring/summer. Going outside a bit and just sticking it out is the best way to get used to it. 2 - if a Spider was crawling on your leg, get a piece of paper or something, scoot it onto it, and then find a nice quiet corner where it can be an awesome buddy and Kill more annoying Insects for you. 2a - In the event that the spider is not a spiderbro and happens to be a brown recluse, you kick your leg as hard as you can to get it off. Brown recluses are not spiderbros. They exist for the sole purpose of biting you and necrotizing your flesh. Like a more dangerous version of a wasp, who really just exist to mess up your day.

MrPie5 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I often let small, non-threatening spiders crawl around on me for fun, so it doesn't much matter to me whether I think there's one on my leg or not.However, if I looked down and saw a black widow, tarantula, or anything from Australia, I probably would freak the F*** out.As for shaving, a mosquito once tried to bite my leg and got strangled by my leg hair, so I will never shave my legs as the hair doubles as natural self-defense.

(XBOX)Grihaly Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've always seen arachnophobia as a bit irrational, especially with the amount of people that have it. It's just spiders (and scorpions and a few other things) most of them can't hurt you, unless you make it hostile, then it probably has a reason for attacking you.

(PSN)Pharen Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 My guide to spiders: Is it a biting spider? : Yes: To oblivion with it!!! No: Is it fearsome looking? Yes: Pick it up with something, put it outside. No: Pick it up with your hand and put it outside. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
