What Are You Afraid Of?

Me? I’m terrified of spiders, especially the big, hairy-looking ones. Just thinking about them gives me the chills. I don’t know why I’m so scared of them. But I do know that it’s the number ONE phobia in the world, so I’m not alone. Bees also, especially wasps. Oh, how I hate them. I HAVE been stung by wasps, more than once and it is so painful. I cannot come up with any use for wasps. Honey bees make honey and pollinate flowers. Wasps? They have no use as far as I am concerned. Can you think of any use for them? I’m NOT afraid of snakes. I don’t LIKE them exactly, but I’m not really afraid of them, because they usually slither away from humans unless they feel trapped. My husband has a fear of snakes. And I know a lot of other people who has that fear, also. Did you know that most persons who die from a snake bite, die of shock, even when the snake is non-poisonous? It’s true. And a black snake is a good snake to have in your back yard, because they scare away and even kill other snakes. I’m not afraid of heights either. I’m not afraid of flying, although recently it’s become a hassle at the airport and there is always the chance that something could go wrong, as we all know. I’ve flown thousands of miles, to the Far East and Europe and all over the USA. What are you afraid of? Picture of beehives by Pixabay
