I Gagged, For Realz

O-M-G. Can it even get any worse? I don't think it can.

If you know anything about me, you know I hate bugs. I loathe creepy crawly things. I absolutely scream like a girl if I see a cockroach. I cannot handle beetles. Fuck maggots, they're gross.

So here I am, sitting on the floor of my room, mentally preparing myself to do some sit ups (also eating Starburst, I might add) and I saw some ant dirt on the floor. I've been at war with the ants for weeks now. But this ant dirt was different... it was at the base of a wooden chair I keep in the corner. And the ant dirt kind of ran up the side of the chair. Like a mud wasp nest, but made of ant dirt.

I gave the chair a nudge and part of the ant dirt tunnel broke off and I was absolutely disgusted by what fell out. Tiny little worms. Hundreds of tiny little white worms.

 

 

I gagged. And scrambled away from the chair.

WTF is living in that chair!? And how long have they been there!? I've never heard of worms like this. They have to be something disgusting and indigenous to the region. Sinai Chair Worms.

The Chair Worms wriggled pretty fast, so I had to get them the hell out of my room ASAP before they dispersed. I grabbed the chair, being sure to not let the legs of the chair touch me (God help me if one of those worms came into contact with my skin), and tossed it outside into the patio. Then I came inside and swept up the remaining Chair Worms and sprayed poison into the tiny hole in my floor that was at the base of the chair. I assumed that was the original point of entry, since the ants seem to come in from the floor, too.

 

I basically almost died. I'm going to need a lot more Arabic Raid to get me through this summer in this repulsive country.

Barf.
