- silicon2401 5y agoThat's a valid suggestion, but unfortunately wouldn't hide the substance. I think I have separate revulsion to insect contact and insect weight/mass. I'd prefer certain bugs to not touch me (e.g. ladybugs are fine), but I _really_ would prefer them to feel weightless. Something about a bug's weight being perceptible is intensely revolting to me, as if they're meant to be weightless wisps
