When I was a little kid I got a really bad spider bite on my arm. It was so bad that my entire arm was paralyzed for almost half an hour. Not an experience that I want to experience more than once. For years, I had horrible nightmares about being attacked by spiders. Since then, I have been extremely afraid of spiders and can't stand to have them anywhere near me. I've never been able to understand how people can keep spiders as pets.

Most times I don't think about spiders, but when I see one, I get freaked out again and have to kill it. Guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I know that not all spiders are harmful, but you can never tell. Do you think that you can ever be too afraid of spiders? How do you get over a fear of spiders?

Sorry that you got bitten as a child. I wonder if maybe she was in your clothing? Most spiders will not attack you or bite you unless they are threatened or feel pressure in some way...like in your bed and you roll on it or in your clothing when you put it on. It is just as scared of you as you are of it.

I don't like spiders much, but I am no longer petrified of them. I will take a broom and sweep them outside rather than killing them, because they are our friends, believe it or not. They eat the pests around our house and yard. If we had no spiders we wouldn't be able to even live here... we would be too infested with bugs.

I used to be the same way about bees that you are about spiders. I got stung on my big toe as a kid, and again as an adult on my back. I got stung by yellow Jackets and they are just plain mean when they get riled...lolz.

I have always been afraid of spiders since I was eight years old. I was watching this movie that I don't recalled its name but it is very scary and I never go buy a spider even spider man.

When I was a kid, we used to catch some spiders and then we would let them wrestle on a stick until someone wins. I was not afraid because we picked the small ones that are lurking in plants and bushes. But when it comes to huge ones like half the size of your hand then that's a different story. Big spiders makes my hair stand on end. I'd rather eat some worms than hold a very hairy spider and let it walk on my hands. Actually, I don't know that spider could bite and now that I'm aware of it, I really, really, really hate spiders.

When I was a kid, I used to live in a very old house, which was more than twenty years old and there used to be lots of huge spiders in the house. Each time I saw a huge spider, I would have been scared as to walk past it and sometimes there would be a huge spider coming to pay a visit to our rooms and I would yell loudly and would ask my mom and daddy for help to get rid of it from the room. I would also have goose skin when seeing a spider and when I grew a little older, I could deal with spiders by myself using a big broom to drive it away or send it to heaven. I hate to see spiders like you do.

I am not very scared of the spiders because it is not very common for me to see them. Usually the spiders I see are very small and they are not harmful at all. They just make a net and catch flying bugs. If it is a very big spider and it gets close to me quickly, then perhaps I will be scared.
