Subject: Holding your breath

Does anyone else automatically hold your breath when jogging or biking past roadkill? I've noticed that I automatically do this no matter what it is on the side of the road. I thought it was sort of wierd but it gives me something to think of to keep my mind busy. I keep thinking that if I breath, I'll inhale some sort of nasty bacteria or something.

i always hold my breath for the same reason. i doubt anything will actually happen. im more afraid of the animal resurrecting just as i ride by and it attacking me. i ride by a lot of dead deer and squirrels and i know one of these days they'll get me

Yeah, i cant explain why i do this very thing- the stench, fear of bacteria, fear of roadkill stealing my soul and taking over my body or vice versa, but have been doing this for some time. Kinda funny.

If I had to hold my breath every time I'd pass-out. My road has a fresh road kill a day. Usually possum or coon. With-in a mile you can see a daily scale of fresh roadkill to old bones!!!

They get real nasty looking around day 4.
