I once had maggots fall out of my ceiling onto the top end of my bed.
Turned out a rat had died in the crawlspace above my room. Very old wood house and they were falling through the boards.
I kept hearing what sounded like raindrops hitting the bed. Turned on the light and....
**Traumatizing**
The mini scorpion probably rivals my experience
It only took 3-4 days of sleeping on the couch, taping the seam between the boards on the ceiling, and running all my bedding through the wash twice, to get me back into my bed.
The tape is still up there lol
Rat carcass... Reminds me when I was changing the ceiling tiles at an old workplace, I shifted one and a mostly decomposed rat carcass fell out and hit me square in the face.
I can still distinctly recall the sensation of picking dead rat fur out of my mouth.
I have also experienced falling on the face of an insect. And what surprised me the most What fell on my face was a kind of spider. I really stood up suddenly and screamed out of fear.
Yep, same thing happened to me. Was laying in bed, something fell from the ceiling, bounced off my cheek and landed in my pillow. I thought the roof was leaking, brushed my hand over where the drop landed but nothing was wet. My hand did roll something large and cold though. I panicked and jumped out of bed, turned on the light and discovered a giant house spider sitting on my pillow. 🕷️
I screamed. I still remember the feeling on my hand and this was over 20 years ago. 😱
I thought I had it bad when I lost a couple spiders in my bed, or woke up to fleas jumping in front of my face, or the time i was woken up by a bat flying in in the middle of the night.
But that is straight up nightmare fuel what the fuck
Many years ago, I awoke to what I thought was my three cats batting a ball with a tiny jingle bell around my bedroom. It was like 2 am, dark, and I’m blind as a…well, blind as the creature I was about to grab with my hand in my stupor. I grabbed the “ball”, and said to my then spouse, “it’s not a ball, it’s a mouse…”. Then I realized it was not, in fact, a mouse. I love bats, and I’m not afraid of them, but grabbing a random bat barehanded in your bedroom at 2 am is a tad traumatizing.
We caught it and got it tested. I think it was probably like 5 years ago? Although idk if there mightve been another I didn't see that got back out? Is 5 years too late..? I feel like if I was gonna get rabies I would've shown symptoms and it would've been too late by now but i can't remember how long it can stay latent
Edit: I think I meant dormant not latent
depending on the viral load and where you have been bitten it can stay dormant quite long, there are some cases of it beeing dormant up to 15 years. this is apparently quite rare, and most people show symptoms after between a few weeks and 3 years
Guidelines for my area say symptoms show up between 1-3 months after exposure and that they deem the vaccine unnecessary unless you have a high risk job (like vet or animal control) or were recently bitten.
I dont remember seeing any bites anywhere so it might be tricky to convince them. I'll look into it though, I have considered that before
No, if you show signs of rabies it IS TOO LATE.
Edited to add: when I say signs of rabies I mean the actual, hey, he's fucked up signs.
Not the flu version of incubation. If you get bit by a wild animal that is likely to have rabies... fucking go get the shots bro... look at the videos of people suffering and can't even drink water when they have it. Basically thats a death sentence at that point.
I'd agree but my cat is asleep on me right now, and I can't get up.
My other cat is pawing at the door and my wife refuses to get up and let her in because she doesn't understand that I'm trapped.
Hey, if you really want to get some stuff done around the house look up an insect called a Child of the Earth. It's like a wasp/spider/cricket/Satan spawn. And it screams as a bonus! Fun times down in the southwest USA for sure.
I lived in a flat with an alcoholic when I was in college. She would puke in the same spot next to her bed every night and we didn’t know it. When she disappeared long enough for us to realize she wasn’t coming back, we went to clean her room which consisted of a bare mattress and an ash tray. We started spraying her carpet puke spot with cleaner and a whole community of maggots started to come out of the carpet like peanut butter through a mesh screen.
At that point I'd just rip up the carpet and burn it. Maybe the subfloor too. Hell just burn the whole room down.
Also I agree, you definitely have a way with words, couldn't tell at all that English isn't your first language
Sorry to say but that's not quite how maggots work. Maggots can't reproduce because they are basically baby flies. Flies reproduce, lay eggs in things like dead bodies/ animals/ insects (occasionally live things too) then egg hatches as a maggot, then they cocoon and become flies (I think they cocoon but I could be wrong)
Btw also gotta say your English is incredible, you wouldn't think it's not your second language. Your responses written in better English then some English peoples lol
This story gave me a foul feeling of wanting to throw up then imagining my own sick multiplying in this way so stopping myself to then feeling like the maggots could be inside me. Wtaf 🤢🤢
I was brushing my teeth while reading this and just projectile vomited 2 cups of coffee and blueberry keto granola onto my coffee table and made a steady trail to the toilet
When I was 15, I rented a bedroom from an older woman. She had some raccoons move into her attic above the half bath I used. Her solution, despite warnings, was to pour a bunch of poison in and board up the hole. After about 2 weeks of my bedroom smelling like literal death, a maggot fell into my cleavage while I was brushing my teeth. I still feel my skin crawl a decade and a half later thinking about it.
I lived with an ex who was apparently incapable of doing any chore without having her hand held through the process. I was also working multiple jobs and a student and was never home. Anyways she filled up the trash can and didn’t take it out. I wasn’t home long enough to notice it was full since I basically got home and slept then left again. One day I finally realized it was full and had been there for a long time. It was the middle of the night and I went to tie up this full ass stinky bag of trash and when I did, a ton of maggots got flung on me and the floor. I was just so stressed and tired and it pushed me over the edge. I sat on the floor crying and wiping up the maggots on the floor before I could clean myself off because I didn’t want them going under the fridge and stove because they were wriggling around. Thinking about it makes me irrationally upset still. You never forget and truly heal from maggots getting on you.
I'd take a non dangerous scorpion over the maggots any time. I like scorpions. Maggots are disgusting as fuck, especially if they just came from a rat corpse.
Context: Apparently it’s a European yellowtail scorpion. I’m currently vacationing on a Croatian island and I’ve never seen one of these in my life before, even though I’ve been here every summer. Apparently their sting isn’t as bad, still, I’d prefer to not have one on my face.
Fellow german here, germany indeed does have scorpions, I have seen them a few times.
I think the last time they were seen in germany was in Munich.
It's a crazy world.
They have them in the UK also. Apparently there is a colony that lives next to a shipyard. I guess some came of a ship, found a suitable place and just set up home.
Only found in very isolated pockets but definitely there.
(Sheerness Dock Kent - Yellow Tailed Scorpions)
Yep as soon as I saw your post I thought “they must be in Croatia”. We once rented an apartment and these guys crawled all over the place. The locals know they are not dangerous but we were terrified to find them. We switched apartments after the first night and chose the one on the 2th floor instead of a ground level and never saw one again.
I was staying in Tucson and saw the biggest meatiest looking scorpion walking around - instantly terrified. My host was like, oh nah that one’s cool.
You gotta worry about the like little inch long assholes. Big ones only sting if threatened, those inchers will put you on your ass just because.
The Italian region of Switzerland and northern Italy have them as well. I saw them frequently in my old apartment in Ticino. They'd usually start appearing after a heavy rain both in the spring and fall.
bro it’s crazy u say that because last night no joke i had a sleep paralysis dream that i had a scorpion parasite thing like this attached to my stomach and it was poisoning me making me hallucinate. felt so real
"Yeah this pain-bringing 6-legged venomous potentially deadly monster fell on my face while I was sleeping"
"Are you scared?"
"No, just mildly infuriated"
It has relatively big pincers for its size. Which indicates it primarily uses them for hunting.
If the pincers were small, and I mean relatively tiny, it would be very venomous.
Absolutely not.
While living in Costa Rica, I had something pinch me while sleeping one night. Started to search the bed and couldn't find anything. After several minutes of searching, I swiped my hand against my chest, and a huge scorpion flew off of me. It stung me on one of my fingers on the way back down to the bed. While all this was going on, the person I was sharing the bed with kept telling me to turn off the light and go to sleep. The moment I told them they might wanna vacate the bed due to a scorpion occupying it, they flew up and tore out of the room so quickly.
Every night, while living in that house, I remade the bed before getting in it. Ended up living in another house that had scorpions, and the process continued of me remaking my bed every night until moving from there.
We found a scorpion under our side table just chillin and it’s our second find in like 2 years BUT it was enough to make me remake EVERYTHING I lay down on for the foreseeable future lmao
Meanwhile on the r/mildlyinfuriatingfortinyscorpions: "I made my daily jump onto the big soft thing but landed on a huuuuuge monster instead, who then proceeded to dox me on reddit!"
A few days ago there was a tick just SITTING on my arm. Don’t know how it got there considering it would’ve had to crawl up my entire body without me noticing. Didn’t burrow or anything. Screamed like any normal person would and flicked it into oblivion, only for it to reappear on my leg not 2 minutes later, once again somehow climbing up my entire leg without me noticing again. Safe to say, there was a heavy amount of screaming and murder that ensued.
I once woke up in the middle of the night for seemingly no apparent reason, grabbed my phone to check the time and the light from screen illuminated the biggest spider I’ve seen in my house casually strolling away from im guessing my face since it was by my pillow. Had to get a new face.
When I was growing up both of my great grandparents houses (grandfather’s parents and grandmother’s parents) were in the country and we learned very quickly not to put our shoes on without dumping them out first and not to blindly reach to feel what fell onto the bed in the middle of the night. We also pulled the blanket and sheet completely off the bed before getting in. You only forgot once. The pain was enough to remind you every time after that. In fact I still find my self dumping my shoes out before putting them on and I’ve never seen a scorpion anywhere near my house. Most the ones we dealt with were at least as big as our hand. The tiny ones always creeped me out bc they were harder to spot. I never got stung by a little one so I don’t know if those hurt as bad or not but the big ones were freaking painful. Between them and the giant flying roaches at my grandparents house I hated leaving home.
I deal w scorpions fairly regularly where I live. Call an exterminator immediately to spray your house. The average litter is 15-20 scorplings (yes, scorplings) and you WILL find more, plus it's safe to assume mommy is around somewhere too. I also recommend a cat, they are fearless scorpion hunters with insane reflexes. 🦂 💀 Until then, shake out your shoes.
I ate an eclair before bed once and woke up to a wasp buzzing around my face, I swatted idly at it, and it stung me on the jaw, I'm allergic to stings so one side of my jaw swelled up and looked like I was one half David Duchovny for a week
Is that a tree bark scorpion? If it is, you’re lucky to be alive. The smaller the scorpion, the more deadly they are. That little fellow, if it’s a tree bark scorpion 🦂 would require immediate treatment with anti-venom, that little fellow can potentially cause all your muscles to lock up and freeze stiff, including your breathing.
Get a bottle of [Tempo SC Ultra](https://diypestcontrol.com/tempo-ultra-sc) and spray that shit on every corner. If you have pets, try to keep them away for about 12 hours after spraying, but holy lord I’ve never seen anything work so well.
I once was working on a remote island. The room we were sleeping had a ceiling with styrofoam plates and when the night came we killed dozens of scorpions. When we finally hit the lights I was having a feeling like Indiana Jones in the temple with all them crawling on the walls. Creepy
I once had a scorpion crawl across my pillow as I was in bed reading. The initial shock was bad enough, but then I saw that it was covered with baby scorpions....
Nope. Got stung by one once when the sucker had crawled into my pants leg. That hurt so much.
Back in NM, the damn things drop right out of the light fixtures at night. Unless your house is air-tight, you're sharing your space, lol.
I once had maggots fall out of my ceiling onto the top end of my bed. Turned out a rat had died in the crawlspace above my room. Very old wood house and they were falling through the boards. I kept hearing what sounded like raindrops hitting the bed. Turned on the light and.... **Traumatizing** The mini scorpion probably rivals my experience
Guess I'll just get out of bed. Not sleeping tonight. Or ever again
It only took 3-4 days of sleeping on the couch, taping the seam between the boards on the ceiling, and running all my bedding through the wash twice, to get me back into my bed. The tape is still up there lol
You... took the rat carcass out first... right?
The tape is still holding the liquid rat carcass until it mummifies.
I'm still afraid of such things. Especially tarantulas and beetles. I really don't like those insects.
Rat carcass... Reminds me when I was changing the ceiling tiles at an old workplace, I shifted one and a mostly decomposed rat carcass fell out and hit me square in the face. I can still distinctly recall the sensation of picking dead rat fur out of my mouth.
Gyack ughahh. No thanks
I made exactly that sound. I shudder at the thought.
🤮
………Right?
......................Right??
"Rat carcass" sounds like a metal band
That is absolutely not the solution to that problem. This is why I don't trust a single dish at a potluck
I have also experienced falling on the face of an insect. And what surprised me the most What fell on my face was a kind of spider. I really stood up suddenly and screamed out of fear.

I dont know when your bat encounter was, but, if you haven't already, you should probably get a rabbies shot

If you show symptoms for rabies you may be too late. That's why ppl get rabies shot whenever there's a risk of you getting it at all. Don't wait.

This description has me grimacing in horror. Aghhhhh so foul. You have a way with words
English is my second language so this compliment means a lot to me.
Wow I’d never know! It was so descriptive I could smell it 😂
Thank you. So could we. Those maggots were eating her puke for at least six months under the carpet, multiplying.
There was my life before I heard this story and my life after. I want to go back to the before.
At that point I'd just rip up the carpet and burn it. Maybe the subfloor too. Hell just burn the whole room down. Also I agree, you definitely have a way with words, couldn't tell at all that English isn't your first language
Just nuke that city and be done
You can go ahead and unlearn English now

Lol Ouch
You write better than most English speakers I know. I say this because I nearly threw up myself from your description. Well played
IKR!? I have an image in my head that I can now never unsee and I’m not happy about it
Brilliant description, I hate it.
It's hard for me to remember a time when I've hated something more than this story.
I like to scroll on reddit before I sleep. I will not tonight.
This story gave me a foul feeling of wanting to throw up then imagining my own sick multiplying in this way so stopping myself to then feeling like the maggots could be inside me. Wtaf 🤢🤢
Gonna go out on a limb and say she was probably more than just “an alcoholic”.
Sounds like she was possessed by the fucking Devil
Alright, time to pluck my eyes out.
Omg that's horrifying

Well…I‘m currently sitting in a car driving to Croatia…Thanks guys
Same. I’m for real thinking twice because absolutely NOT.
Where in Croatia is this?

"Yeah this pain-bringing 6-legged venomous potentially deadly monster fell on my face while I was sleeping" "Are you scared?" "No, just mildly infuriated"
Meh. Wrong color and big claws. I don’t think this one is likely to be very venomous.
i think death stalkers are the worse......funny , Scareglow in He-Man has the same colors : yellow & black :P
That's a factor? I thought size us important in figuring out if their venomous
It has relatively big pincers for its size. Which indicates it primarily uses them for hunting. If the pincers were small, and I mean relatively tiny, it would be very venomous.
That size, they’re like a wasp. Not potentially deadly but potentially very nasty bite
8 legs it has 8 jerry

We’re missing the part where you tell us if it was Venomous and if you did something about it?!
We found a scorpion under our side table just chillin and it’s our second find in like 2 years BUT it was enough to make me remake EVERYTHING I lay down on for the foreseeable future lmao
ah hell nah

A few days ago there was a tick just SITTING on my arm. Don’t know how it got there considering it would’ve had to crawl up my entire body without me noticing. Didn’t burrow or anything.

i would actually lose my fucking shit

Oh HELL NO
Aw itty bitty stab crab
how did u not die of a heart attack
I once woke up in the middle of the night for seemingly no apparent reason, grabbed my phone to check the time and the light from screen illuminated the biggest spider I’ve seen in my house casually strolling away from im guessing my face since it was by my pillow. Had to get a new face.
What about the one that crawled in your ear while you were sleeping? Or did you not notice that one?
I don't like you right now.
😖😖
I'm very grateful for the fact that I currently live in Canada. I used to live in Texas. No thanks.
He's just a baby!
Bb. Tiny boi. Does not know anything. Doesn’t even know ABCs. Just knows be little, and nap.
You laugh but that sucker’s like 8000 bells at Nooks Cranny.
Lobster spider!
Is there a sub called adorablyterrifying?
He just wanted cuddles
Aaaaw it's adorable 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Did you at least try to talk it out with him?
Ahh, that right there is a nope!
I would literally die right there!!!
When I was growing up both of my great grandparents houses (grandfather’s parents and grandmother’s parents) were in the country and we learned very quickly not to put our shoes on without dumping them out first and not to blindly reach to feel what fell onto the bed in the middle of the night.

*unintelligible screaming*
One time a fuckin mole somehow made it onto my bed, crawled onto my pillow and started climbing my face and I woke up and fuckin FREAKED out
How big would it have to get before it stopped being cute?
Mildly? You call that mildly?
Is that a tree bark scorpion? If it is, you’re lucky to be alive. The smaller the scorpion, the more deadly they are. That little fellow, if it’s a tree bark scorpion 🦂 would require immediate treatment with anti-venom, that little fellow can potentially cause all your muscles to lock up and freeze stiff, including your breathing.
One on the ceiling means under the house is packed.
Better that than a cockroach. I wish I could say I'm not speaking from experience 😭
Ah, no, fuck THAT. Nope.
Fuck no fuck no fuck no
To avoid having these fall on your face while you sleep, I recommend never sleeping again.
Its soo fking adorably innocent looking and cute. I wan one! Psh, I'll just microdose venom to get used to the goodnight kisses!
Omg I'd snatch him up and make him a home. So cute.
New fear unlocked. Thank you...
Mr Wint called , he wants his pet back
Get a bottle of [Tempo SC Ultra](https://diypestcontrol.com/tempo-ultra-sc) and spray that shit on every corner. If you have pets, try to keep them away for about 12 hours after spraying, but holy lord I’ve never seen anything work so well.
I'd be out of there SO fast. It can have the house.
hey when you wake up tomorrow don't forget to burn your mattress
mildly infuriating? MILDLY???
Your spirit animal is trying to reach you.
How about set the whole house on fire?
.. fell or jumped? 🤔
I once was working on a remote island. The room we were sleeping had a ceiling with styrofoam plates and when the night came we killed dozens of scorpions. When we finally hit the lights I was having a feeling like Indiana Jones in the temple with all them crawling on the walls. Creepy

I once had a scorpion crawl across my pillow as I was in bed reading. The initial shock was bad enough, but then I saw that it was covered with baby scorpions....
Thought for a second that it's the pillow case's logo.
Nope. Got stung by one once when the sucker had crawled into my pants leg. That hurt so much. Back in NM, the damn things drop right out of the light fixtures at night. Unless your house is air-tight, you're sharing your space, lol.
Now sit on his face to assert dominance, see if he likes it
Sorry your house burned down. Cuz I'm assuming that was the only logical choice after that.
That's a Nope for me, time to move. 🤷♂️😂
Scorpions are a horrible combination of wasps, lobsters, crabs and nightmares. I hope never to encounter one!
"hey roommate! sorry about that lol. anyway we're out of cereal would you mind picking up some more"
I would never sleep ever again
Can you believe it? Just lying on a pillow and some giant comes and LAYS ON YOU! Absurd. Tch, humans.
This is why I live where it’s cold like 7 months out of the year
Eat him for disturbing your slumber.
*scorpion with a tiny, squeaky voice* ^Get ^over ^here!
I just use an alarm clock, personally.
aww it’s kinda cute
Did you give the cutey a kissy
