Okay that was a complete and utter gross thing and now I am feeling really Ew! Ick! Gross! and I just hope washing my hands in hot soapy water with anti-bacterial soap is enough because I really do not want ... Ew!
We bought a bag of potatoes the other day - fortunately only 5# - and I just went into the pantry to get something and smelled something rotten. When we got home from grocery shopping I just put the bag of potatos on the pantry floor. Usually not a problem. Well, I noticed there was moisture in the plastic bag and opened it up and one potato was half-rotten and covered with worms. Ewwww! So I dumped them all in the sink, threw out the rotten one and washed them off. I found another one that had a worm crawling out of a gash/cut in the skin and threw that one out as well. And now I am wondering if I shouldn't toss all of them.
Spiders are ickky. Ants are crawly and gross. But this is making me want to retch. There is something about little white slimy worms that just tips my creepout ick factor to Danger! Will Robinson!
My hands still feel icky. I washed them twice and am going to wash them again. And even though the trash bag isn't full, I think I'm going to change it out tomorrow. Ew! Ew! Ew! Ick! Ick! Ick!

Oh, that just maxed out my gross meter so badly. I am getting all OCD about wanting to wash my hands until the skin is scrubbed off. Few things get me that badly, but this did.

Ew. Maggots. *shudder*
This just hit 10 on my personal Freak The Hell Out meter.

I'd have had to throw them all away.
Then possibly throw away the trash can.
And maybe the kitchen.
Rental house - hard to explain to the landlords why the is no longer a kitchen.

I have a small bottle of GermX that has seen a lot of use in the last 9 hours.
A few ants don't bother me too much - a mass of ants however will tweak me badly. Spiders bother me because I am allergic to even non-poisionous spider bites. But the icky slimy things - ewwwww!
A suggestion for keeping potatoes (good ones, not ones that come rotten from the store already. eeewww!) Take them *out* of the plastic bag and put them in an open crate in a cool dark place. The ones that come in paper sacks are usually OK to leave, but potatoes need to be kept dry so that condensation does not encourage spoilage.
