      Most people seem to have a pretty bad sense of touch.

      During certain times of years you get a lot of single spider-silk threads flying in the air and I constantly walk into them. But almost no one else seems to notice them.

        People don’t notice them? I usually don’t see them and my brain immediately starts telling me ~something is weird~ on my arms.

        Always takes me way too long to figure it out because the first thoughts are always incredibly rational “what if i got bitten by a giant snake i didn’t notice?” And “where is the crawling bug?” Only then “oh, yeah, the thin spider web…”

      I recently have been bitten by quite a few ticks and can never seem to find them until days later. They are so fucking tiny, smaller than a grain of sand! Oh yeah just feel my legs? How do you tell the difference between a tiny scab from a thorn scratch or a tick then? Usually only find them once they have been there for a while and got bigger. Which isn’t exactly ideal.
