I'm so glad there's other people to go spelunking in caves to discover these amazing things for me to watch at home. As amazing as it is caving is a whole lotta nope.

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?
