and spiders don't get to me at all.
Now snakes...I'm not 'phobic' around them... I have picked them up before, even rattlesnakes, but I don't like them. And I REALLY don't like those people who think it's funny to toss a live snake at you to watch your reaction... they won't like my reaction because my reaction will be, not might be, will be, to knock every tooth in their head out.
I can look down and see a spider crawling on my arm and there is no panic... I calmly brush him aside. but if I looked down and saw a snake doing the same thing... even a pacifist hippie snake, I'd make like the Tasmanian devil getting away from it. - JamesJM
