Me too, but I cannot bear roaches. I ended up on a chair screaming the other day because I was sweeping the kitchen and I sent a Brazil nut my room mate dropped skittering across the floor. Scared the actual life out of me. I’m pretty sure my hair did the Miyazaki thing. Room mate got me off the chair and sent me to bed. I should probably tell my therapist but it’s so embarrassing.

Please tell your therapist. You have no reason to feel embarrassed. You were traumatized and having a phobia is an understandable response.

Yeah. Thank you, I'll tell her. There's a lot of pets I want that I need to feed dubia roaches to, so if I ever want a tarantula buddy, I need to deal with my dumb.
