I made it my ‘desktop wallpaper’ and I haven’t had that for years.
Does it suggest a pathological relationship with the natural world that it’s typical to mist one’s living space with dilute nerve toxin upon discovering some unexpected but ultimately harmless insects? No, obviously, bugs are gross.

The Cotard delusion or Cotard’s syndrome or Walking Corpse Syndrome is a rare neuropsychiatric disorder in which people hold a delusional belief that they are dead (either figuratively or literally), do not exist, are putrefying, or have lost their blood or internal organs. In rare instances, it can include delusions of immortality. (via sleevia)
