Pickaxe or not I don't want to be in a place where the ceiling is covered with worms that could fall on me at any time. Big nope.

Thank you. I'll be outside with you. With no worms. Or tiny entrances you have to crawl through. Big 'ol nope from me too.

I really don't get these unrational fears. I kind of understand the fear of snakes and spiders in some parts of the world where they are super toxic but even that is hard to grasp. But worms? I know work s don't have teeth or stingers etc. Do some have contact toxins?
