AAAAAAAAAAAAH! I usually delight in being grossed out; I love the whole reading/cringing combo, but this is possibly the most terrible thing I’ve ever tried to read. It’s probably because I’m covered in mosquito bites and therefore itchy to start with. I just can’t make myself continue to read this, at least not until my itchiness with a legitimate cause subsides. It’s a pity, as I’m really quite interested in the science of itching.

This reminds me though, I still haven’t gotten to read the gross first kiss story. Must track that down, I’m fairly confident I can handle it as long as there’s no itching or brain juice.

Yeah, that picture is way gross, and I don’t even know what causes it. Which is what scares me the most.

I am making a mental note right now: Justine is much harder to gross out than me. If she warns me it’s gross, just BACK AWAY.

Actually, I’m not so much disgusted as horrified. Distinctly different kinds of revulsion.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! That is so awesome! not the part about her scratching through to her brain. Actually no, I take it back. It is a little jokez. But I find things like that intriguing. I love being disgusted! You should do it more often. Actually if you're brave enough and click on this link, you'll see the only thing that has ever grossed me out.

I think that woman’s fingernails need to be harvested for science. If she can get through her skull in a single night, without even trying, think what she could be doing in a diamond mine!

That article is extremely interesting. I love the mirror therapy. I was not as grossed out by the brain-fluid thing (maybe because I studied neuroscience?). Also the idea of sensor syndromes…come to think of it, I wonder if that might be what’s causing problems for my brother…

Long time lurker, first time commenter.

Darn it, I can’t read the article. I really want to, but I have chronic hives and if I think or read about about itchyness I get hives. And hives suck.

…

Article is too tempting. Going to risk it.
