Oh lordy... I just brushed my hand against an asp once when I was

Ouch indeed!

I put them in the trash now when I find those. I grab them with a few

Had pain for nearly 24 hours.


What's the purpose of putting it in the trash?


Keeping it from reproducing!
I could squish them I suppose, but I'm squeemish.

I flush palmetto bugs down the toilet because it grosses me out to
squish them.
