Is it normal to think every itch is a bug?

Any time I have an itch somewhere on my body, my first thought is: it's a bug! There's a small zing of panic until I confirm it is not a bug. It is very rarely a real bug, so is this normal?

  • Did you turn off your oven? I don't think you turned off your oven. It's on. Boiling with heat as we speak.

    QUICK!! Get out of bed and make sure it's turned off before your house explodes!

    I think it would be fun to show a bug-phobic person a movie on a big screen theater magnifying dust mites and scabies showing exactly what they do on human flesh and have tiny electrodes delivering ever so slight prickly sensations at the appropriate times

    Maybe you have a paranoia of bugs. I have the same thing.

    Don't worry, it's all in your head! I know that cuz I saw them crawling up your nose.

    I feel like bugs are crawling all over me when I get tiny little itches, particularly when I'm trying to get to sleep. If a single hair twitches, I'm instantly, acutely aware of it. This is actually one of the main reasons I usually keep my legs shaved, even when it's winter and I'll be wearing long pants all the time.

    • Not scared of bugs as bugs being bugs, but I am freaked out by bugs getting on me somehow. I don't want them on me.
