When I was a child, I saw a picture of a person covered in bugs on tv. For the longest time I believed our skin was made of millions of tiny little insects. It wasn't until my teen age years when I saw another show with a man covered in bees did I realize what I had sen as a youngster was probably something similiar. To this day though, I still get a nasty feeling when hair on my body bristles.
