When I was six my mom told me I was sick and had a stomach "bug" that was making me vomit. I walked into the living room and uncontrollably puked on the floor. I looked down at the mess i had just made and notice there was string in it and on the end of the string was a bug. A lady bug to be specific (which was probably on the floor to begin with)and I was convinced I had gotten rid of the bug so I was all better. For the longest time IO thought ladybugs would make you sick if you touched them.
