Unsafety in Numbers

I've always been afraid of bugs. All bugs, but especially nasty roaches. And even more especially spiders. They can be anywhere, and you don't even see them. Plus, they bite, and they can kill you. The Black Widow (duh), but they live under rocks. This is why I never pick up or turn over rocks. But Brown Recluses, which I refer to as Death in Shadows, live right inside your home! If they bite you, you just start to rot away, while you're still alive. They can even kill you. And don't get me started on snakes (technically not bugs).
