    I once was hunting for frogs as a small child and got covered and leaches from the waist down. Everyone in the campground thought I was being murdered as I screamed while my legs streamed blood as my mom salted them all off. It was horrific. Surprisingly, instead of being a batman with bats like childhood trauma it totally desensitized me to them, now I just think they’re neat.
