i've a real fear of spiders, even the tiny ones. I think it's because they're so fast and just creepy but the point is i'm scared even though I know they're not poisonous.

If your scared of spiders too, how would you survive if you lived in a palce with poisonous spiders roamed free?

If you do currently live in a place where there are venomous spiders, how do you handle them and how do you ever get used to it, knowing a threat could walk in at any time? How on earth do you people sleep?

I don't like spiders either. I don't like any bugs at all. My greatest fear of all things though, is a fear of snakes. I'm terrified of them for some reason.

i'm glad you could understand what with my bad english lol. I don't like snakes either but the thankful thing for me is that in london you don't come across them so in my case it's just out of sight out of mind. Oh and hey I don't blame you for being terrified of snake lol. I would totally freeze if I saw one

I actually keep spiders as pets, well if I see one in the house I will NEVER kill it, anything else that comes in is dead meat, but not spiders, they keep the flies away and I don't mind them at all. I'm scared of snakes not spiders. Although I'd rather see a poisonous spider than a wasp for example, as one sting from a wasp could technically kill me, because I am allergic to their sting. I think people who have poisonous spiders are used to them and take measures to make sure they are dealt with. Thankfully we do not have poisonous spiders in the UK.

Another thing I hate wasps. Thankfully though now I wouldn't have to kill spiders (as opposed to running away lol) because our cats a spider detector:)

I have a girlfriend who catches the spider and then places it outside if she finds one in her house.

In general I don't have a fear of spiders, but if I have to face some realy poisonous one then surely I will be cautious.
I know some people who is just scared of spider like anything. If they know there is a spider somewhere in the room they will scream and run out of the room. Its kind of funy to look at them at that time.

I have such a fear of the horrid things I can't even type out the "s" word... I have been bitten by a poisonous one, brown recuse and did not help my fear one bit. How do I deal with them? Scream, run, pray someone without my fear will distroy the creepy creature.

I'm not afraid of spiders- I don't like them but I can deal with them- Squish! : ) into the garbage can..
Now snakes on the other hand really creep me out- We live in the country and have quite a bit of land-- On our land there was a man-made pond and a crick that runs out through the way back of our land-- Of course water attracts snakes.. Needless to say after living here only 2 years- the pond is gone- filled in, and we put lyme on the crick banks -- in hopes to keep snakes out of the yard.. YUK! So I guess we deal with what we are afraid of!

I don't live in a place that has poisonous spiders. In fact, I've never heard of a deadly spider bite happening in Pennsylvania. Which is a good thing because I LIKE spiders. They're fragile & graceful & ....Spidery! They also weave beautiful webs. Every self respecting garden should have a couple spider webs in the Spring.

I suggest you read Charlotte's Web (or see the movie). It will give you a new take on spiders. I think the reason I like them so much is that I read that book when I was a child. LOL

I read it:). Believe me if the girl existed i'd be standing behind her saying 'go on then' I'll just make us a brew..lol

If you are scared of spiders, i mean more than normal, then you are suffering from Arachnophobia. Hey after all they are also living on earth. We have to co-exist. Get used to it. Stop fearing it. But if you are really living in a place where there are venemous spiders exist then you must be careful. If i have to live in a place like that I would be very careful to stay away from there. Beyond that its fate. That's all what i can say. Don't go after killing them because you are powerful and stronger.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Jakker27 (3910)   ranked 79 out of 3,479 in life  3 years ago

is it vain of me if I rated this because of the your powerful and stronger bit? Good post:)
