I still remember the night I turned on the bathroom light and saw a long-legged spider chilling in the corner like it paid rent. I froze for a second—not because I’m terrified of spiders, but because it caught me off guard. It’s that jolt of “why are you here??” that makes your heart skip a…
The first time I dealt with fleas, I didn’t even notice them on my dog. What I did notice was the sudden tiny red bites on my ankles every time I walked across the living room carpet. At first, I blamed mosquitoes. But then I saw something jump—so small I almost convinced myself I imagined…
One thing I’ve always hated about summer is waking up with those itchy, angry red bumps on my legs.
