What should I do to avoid these cicadas?

I can't deal with people who are scared of things that can't hurt you.

Nothing will happen. Just like the last alarms they were coming.

Seriously, go on Washington post and word search cicadas, and every few years they think the ground will erupt with billions and the sun won’t shine through. So sick of it. Buy some parrots that return to their cage.

The grossest thing in 2004 was having them get stuck in my hair, or fly into my face. So: hair in a tight bun and/or wear a hat, no loose collars or sleeves, no flip flops. I've been meaning to get one of those mesh mosquito net hoods for working in the garden - probably need to order that soon!

Yeah, I'm not scared of them, but they are gross. Hair up, mask on, closed-toe shoes. (The face mask will come in handy.)

Until this moment, I never thought about accidentally squishing them between my toes or under my heel. But now that’s all I can think about. Thanks.

You don't have to do anything. They're harmless and kind of like bumbling idiots that make a lot of noise. Go about your life as usual.

How do you people get through the damn day?
If you're so paralyzed by the fear of harmless insects, there's only one thing you can do: go back yo your basement.
Ugh.

I'd like to remind them that I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
