It's actually easier. The "usual" way is the strongest part as it's the stem and sometimes can be a pain to open. All you have to do is pinch the other side and the skin peels with no fuss.

Try it!

If your woman is allergic to nuts it is possible for a man to poison her by eating brazil nuts and then having sex with her. The nut allagy from a brazil nut can be passed on to his partner via sperm. Think I spend to much time watching QI lol.

"a crane fly/daddy long legs has one of the most poisonous venom but it has no way of injecting it into you."

Again, not true. Crane flies aren't venomous at all. Neither are the "other" Daddy Longlegs (the spiders, often called "the Harvestman". There's also a third Daddy Longlegs, another spider, that has short fangs, but works in the same way a brown recluse spider does, which has short fangs, but has been known to bite, and penetrate, human flesh. But there have been no valid studies into it. Someone got bitten by one on Mythbusters once, waaaay back (where this knowledge is coming from) and he said it simply hurt for a little bit.

So you don't need to worry about any three of them, in any way!
