Flash Back Friday- And More Bug Stuff

I deeply apologies for grossing everyone out. I am ashamed that I brought you with me on my trip through bed bug land. I took B to the doc where he got FOUR SHOTS!!! and they said it was probably mosquito's. Deep sigh of relief. But since I did take you there I thought I would share with you a little story that happened to me years ago. Since it is Flash Back Friday I thought I would give it a go. (Warning this story is not for the squeamish)

It was my first year of teaching. I was teaching a class of three year old. That year I had some trouble sleeping so I used to wear an eye mask to help block out the light and let me sleep better. I developed a sty in my eye. It was itchy and red and I thought it was from the mask. I called my Dad and he told me to get a sty kit from the drug store. I followed the directions. I held a hot compress to my eye for 10 min and applied the cleanser suddenly all this white stuff came streaming out of my eye but instead of traveling down my face it ran up into my hair. It was LICE!!!!! I ripped off my clothes and ran in circles screaming trying to get away from my self (that does not work). Apparently the lice had buried themselves into my eye lashes and had laid eggs there. The hot compress had hatched them and the cleanser had sent them running. My boyfriend at the time (yes I was a bad girl and was living in sin) calmly sat me down and picked all the remaining lice out of my eye lashed with a tweezers. After that we got briefly engaged go figure. I still have a scar on my eye lid and I think since that day I've been a little sensitive about bugs on my body. Go figure.

Anyway I apologies for that story too but I just had to share.

EEEEWWWWW!!!! LOL I'd have married him! We'd have been headed for Vegas in minutes. Any guy that will tweeze lice from your eyelashes is tops. lol

I just need to know this up front...do you have more horrific bug stories? Bless your heart. You have been through it with the bugs. I'd be standing in my house with some huge weapon just waiting for the next one to dare to enter.

I think you are the true Queen of the Gross Out story. You would upset Tarentino. You would make Carpenter queasy. Stephen King would swoon.

Whoa.
That blows me away. Talk about freaky! It sounds like a sci-fi movie!
It wasn't Matt Dillon, was it? Didn't you go out with him? Or am I losing my mind?

Brooke said...

Oh my gosh! I would freak out!

Anonymous said...

OK. Now I am officially freaked. I HATE bugs so much, I just can't even stand to read about stuff like this. It makes me hyperventilate!

Michele said...

I remember when this happened to you--jeez, what a story. I felt so bad for you when that happened and it still gives me the willies to think about it now.

Vered said...

WOW!!!!

I am shocked.

I never realized something like this could happen!

Unknown said...

Since you told me it was going to be gross I didn't read it.
I bet it was a GREAT story though.

Have a great Friday!

One Mom said...

Yes, that was gross! I would have been screaming terrified too! Thank God I don't get sties or I would be going crazy thinking I could have lice burrowing in my eye!

Unknown said...

That's horrible Suzie! I have had lice as a kid - but I've never heard of anything quite that horrifying. On another note - you must have really nice thick eyelashes for that to happen.

Valarie Lea said...

Ahhhhh!!! Oh that is awful! I would have never ever thought that. You poor thing you must have been horrified. :(

Adrienne said...

Now of course I'm dying to know what could've broken off the engagement...

Tales From the Eurovan said...

You have got to be kidding?! Wow! What a guy though to pick out all the lice! I can see why you'd get engaged! So glad to hear it wasn't bugs for your son, but mosquito bugs aren't fun either.
Take care,
Julie

Heidi said...

Blech. that is so gross. One of my co-workers had the same thing happent o her, although it was not lice it was crabs. Ick. Looked like pink eye until she pulled one out with a tweezers! Not really pink eye!!!!! :)
I'm so glad you told this story today and not a few days ago when I had a sty. I would have run screaming to the doctor!!!! :)

Mama Smurf said...

Really it happened to you...

Madge said...

that's creepy. i think i would have had a heart attack and died on the spot. i would have agreed to marry that boy too -- how could you not be, at least temporarily, completely indebted to such a person?

The Laundress said...

Listen lady, one more post like this and I'm so outta here.

What the?

K said...

Eeeew,Eeeew,Eeeeew,Eeeeew!!!!!

That is one of the more disturbing things I've heard in my lifetime! I'm so sorry you had to go through that!!!! Eeeew!

Kmommy said...

OMG!!!! That sounds like something from a bad horror movie! I would so freak out. Wait, I think I did just freak out just by reading about it!
We had lice a time or two when we were kids, it was so humiliating. I can't even imagine having them in your eyelashes.

Susan said...

Remind me to stop reading your blog right before bedtime. It's not often that I'm speechless, but.....

Please tell me you don't also have stories about fleas. I unfortunately, wore "that badge of honor" once.

Shudder, shudder, shake, shake.

Like WOW, I'm still stunned. Luv U Bunches, though.

April said...

Wow. Really, really really disgusting!
Had to laugh at the part about you trying to get away from yourself, though.

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...
