This reminds me of a time when I lived in Chicago and it was a hot night. I was sleeping nude with no covers on, and had a futon that was just on the floor (don't judge, this was college and I had zero budget). Anyway, I felt something tickling my chest and it was a roach crawling across my chest! I don't think I slept at all that night, because every sensation was another roach or group of them crawling across me. Yeech!

Master your fear by knowledge about the bug. For me knowledge about any issue has always helped me to pass my fears or to bring it under control.

Sounds like an earwig. Harmless. They like dark, moist, warm places. Sorry. =0}
As a child by accident, as who would do this with intention? Rhetorical. So as a child I sat down & couldn't understand I felt this biting sensation. I sat down again without looking & felt the same biting sensation only more of it. This time I looked before sitting and the swarm of ants, well, it makes my skin crawl to this day. Decades later I have just started being able to look at anything swarming. Even looking down at rush hour traffic from a sky scraper tends to give me the heebie geebies. I love insects & ants but not so much in a swarm.

Ok, I don't mean to be insensitive, but I am ROFL. Only because I've had a similar experience. Except I have no vulva. I felt bugs in me for a month.

There is something about you they find irresistible. It could be worse. It could be wolverines. ☺

At least he finally got out!

I clicked like on this post, but I feel bad for you going through that trauma.

Arrrrrgh! Horrible! Fumigate! Now!

Eat some asparagus, the smell of your pee will keep them away !   LMAO

Im actually not sure what a pincer bug is? Unless you mean an earwig, at any rate i feel really bad for you?

Not TMI. Must have not read a lot of my posts. lol I have kind of a similar story, but I wouldn't call it traumatic. When I was young I moved a 300 Farmall with a grader on the back. Not knowing at the time, there was a bumble bee nest under it! I jumped off the tractor after being stung repeatedly, and ran to my dads house. They were still after me, and I remember having to thick them off my arms once stung and running! I didn't count the actual number of stings, but it was probably dozens of times. This was early Sunday morning. My parents still made me go to church!

The weird part happened a few years ago. I was hauling beans from Stanton to Lincoln. I was in Lincoln at a red light waiting to turn on Cornhusker HWY. All of a sudden I thought bee. That was a weird feeling. Honestly the strangest feeling I ever had. My windows were rolled down on my semi because my AC didn't work. I looked to my left, I saw a bee fly out the window! This really made me freak out! How did I know a bee was there? I didn't want to hold up traffic, and I was close enough to the processing plant. When I got there I calmed down. But there's more! Go grab some popcorn! I got a backhaul of corn going to Columbus. After that I went to Schuyler (where I parked my truck). Keep in mind this was about four hours later. After making a turn into Schuyler I got a weird feeling again. I thought "I just got stung". I don't know how I knew this, but I immediately checked my right side of my neck. I don't know why or how but I just used my right arm and knew exactly where to feel. Sure enough I was stung when I was in Lincoln. That was very, very weird. I never felt the sting! The best way I could describe it was a bad acid/LSD/mushroom trip (although I've done none of those). It was just really trippy.

that is pretty freaky

ouch!! hope you're ok!

Deservedly so . Shit!

NOPE! That's a lot of nope. No bug should pass near there!!!

I hate bugs ?

Haha not TMI. It would give me the heebie jeeebies too

That would scare the shit out of me
