Nope, not just you
If I see a spider, I spend the rest of the day on the lookout for any friends that came in with it. And scratching, for some reason.

me too
Especially centipedes, milipedes etc. Make me feel all itchy.

Even worse, my neice has long curly hair and is constantly catching nits from the kids at her primary. Every time she's in the same room I start scratching, then it stops when she's gone.

*scratches like mad*

*cries a little for poor gorgeous neice*

tip for your neice's mum:

Tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner. It's not a cast iron guarantee, but it does seem to keep them away from kids' hair. They don't like the smell, apparently.

*scratches furiously*

*grabs kids and impersonates mummy baboon*

Thanks, I'll pass it on. Feel awful for her; as soon as one lots are exterminated another lot turn up. Bring back the nit nurse!
