Aspie, you obviously have toxoplasmosis.

lol, cats.

You can order their eggcases over the internet, each with thousands of little babies, as natural pest control for your garden. Mantids ain't endangered anywhere

there was a big movement when I was a kid to reintroduce lady bugs and mantids to farms to keep the pest down over using poisons. Probably where it came from.

Here's your early Chrimbus present, Kimarhi.

lol mannnnnnn they don't even like meat, never go outside, and are complete germophobes

by feeding your cats plants you are denying a natural instinct that will boil over until one day we see you on the enquirer dead on your kitchen floor with your cats eating your eyebrows

Ticks are pretty common place...tell the worm one though?

Just cuz ticks are common don't mean they ain't scary, especially when you look down and see one of the vile little disease carriers crawling up your leg in slow motion, or find one stuck in between your titties. >_>

The worm story is uber-disturbing. Let's just say little eight year old Cvalda picked up something nasty from the flukeworm family in Florida, went to the bathroom, and was confronted by this fact swimming around in the toilet.

Yeah but a tick story is likely to be more dime-a-dozen than a worm one because they're so common. Though, in Zambia at Victoria Falls, I found a big grape-sized elephant tick hauling itself across the pathway. Mashed the f**k and the jet of blood went over my brothers shoes, who then lost his shit at me.

Worm story was impressively gross though. 

One of my professors has toxoplasmo and told me a lot of zoologists often pick it up too. Literal use of the saying, my body is ready.

newp newp newp they are addicted to cat food. I've tried to feed them meat plenty of times. They won't touch it.. Even the fancy canned cat food with authentic seafood in it doesn't appeal to them, they like the gravy doe.

Consider the hides they've got to bite though.

Never been ticked. Been leeched a good few times though.

Spoiler

Worth it though.

yep

Before our only outside cat ever died, he brought in a mouse once. He lightly had it in his mouth so not to inure it, and he proceeded to plop it in front of the other 3 inside cats in an attempt to teach them to hunt or something. Those 3 all hissed, bolted, and found a bed to hide under. The outside cat just picked the mouse back up and took him outside again. Prolly became lunch.

Oh god, wash those shoes, blood might be AIDS containing given Africa...

THAT cat got the toxoplasmosis and gave it to the other cats, who in turn gave it to you.

You have a mind altering parasite burrowed in your brain meats, Aspie.

Cats don't actually give it to their owners that often, due to their habit of shitting in everyone else's garden. So all of aspie's neighbors have it instead.
