When I was eight I saw a HUGE slug in my aunt's backyard. The summer before that I saw a tiny slug in my front yard. That didn't bother me but after seeing the huge slug I was grossed out over both of them. I would imagine my house being taken over my slugs and the slugs crawling up my nose and I'd be INCREDIBLY grossed out. I kept thinking there were slugs in all my food and this lead to problems because I refused to eat anything besides stuff like popcorn and lollipops because I knew slugs couldn't get in there. I got over it after I told my dad and he kept insisting when I would cringe upon seeing food that slugs were not infesting my food.
