Death from a philosophical standpoint, the unknown aspect of it.

From the wikipedia on botflies:

>one can attempt to seal the breathing hole of the larva with nail polish or petroleum jelly; after a day, with a clinical professional, the breathing hole is enlarged and the larva is removed with forceps. Squeezing the larvae out is not recommended, as it can cause the larvae to rupture; their bodily fluids have been known to cause severe anaphylactic shock.[12] Use of adhesive tape can work, but carries additional risk of infection because portions of the larva's breathing tube can be broken off by the tape and make the remainder of the body difficult to remove.

I've done this. Yeah it was pretty fucking painful, whenever the fucker moved it hurt like fuck. Showed it to our team medic and the fat fuck just laughed and said "Haha, that's not a botfly!" so I put sudocrem/petroleum jelly on it followed by some sticky tape. Next day, the cunt was sticking it's tail out, so I grabbed it with my fingers and pulled.

Pic fucking related, the bastard that lived in my leg. I had two of them over a period of 3 months, I don't think I had a third actually, it was years ago so I may not have remembered right.

If I ever capture a botfly, I'm going to slowly torture it to death.
>>
>>29235188

>>29237347
What infuriated me was the fat useless medic laughing off the thing that was obviously a fucking botfly larva in my leg the first time I got one. Next thing I know I'm pulling it out like a short string of spaghetti after a night of agony.

Especially when I read things like
> Squeezing the larvae out is not recommended, as it can cause the larvae to rupture; their bodily fluids have been known to cause severe anaphylactic shock

When I found the second one I just did exactly as I did for the first one (sudocrem and sticky tape) and pulled it out.

Well, i did have a fear of dying,

Not saying i don't, the thought still resides in me, just that the sudden realization of "oh fuck, i'm gonna die some day" the reaction is... less explosive (put simply, first thought about it when i was 14, i was crying my fucking eyes out like a bitch and didn't want it to happen)

I just accept it, but still fear it, mainly because i don't know what's on the other side.

>going to bed

While sleeping you're in a state of complete helplessness. It's eerie knowing everyone is in a state of consistent paranoia. When you fall asleep, there's likely another human being 10-30 feet away from you in another house. If it's in an apartment complex, it's even less. The only thing separating you is a few walls. It's like this in so many places.

Another thing is "what am I?". Not in an autistic edgy way, but in a genuine way. What makes me, or you? Every time I talk about this, it feels like I'm trying to articulate through a god damn tar pit. I'm a lump of complicated organs and cells working in perfect harmony to deliver consciousness. To me, there HAS to be something more than just that. I guess a better way to put it, is where are YOU in YOU? Where do you feel you actually are in your body? In your mind?

Last thing is if you could the the future in its entirety, would you voluntarily take basic action (talking, walking, sleeping, eating), or would you autonomously take actions based on the future you know? Would you be in your own mind helplessly as reality plays out?

Do you think you slowly fade to black, or is it more like an on-off switch? I went into surgery a couple years back and I remember just blinking out of existence after they gave me the anesthetic. No tunneling vision, no fading to black, just a snap into nothingness.

If dying is similar to that, it doesn't scare me nearly as much as a slow gradual fading away.

>>29239836
Both scenarios are possible. Usually your extremities began to lose function, become heavy and numb. You become either very cold or very hot, your breathing becomes shallow, you get tunnel vision, your vision begins to go white, your mind loses all higher functioning, your hearing is the last sensation you get, as thing began to sound more distant. You could also die without even knowing you died, if your heart stopped instantly, your brain shuts down within seconds.

>>
>>29232671
That there might be a god and that when I die, he/she/it will be there to torture me forever for not believing.

It usually doesn't cross my mind but sometimes when I have a nightmare where I am dying, I start praying and begging for forgiveness like a little bitch.

I guess I just can't make up my mind. Being agnostic is hard.
