I don't care for spiders at all. Thankfully we rarely see any around here. But, even though, I know that most spider bites are harmless I still get chills just thinking about coming into close contact with one. It's all the legs I think. I didn't know that there are over 40,000 species of spiders in the world. Of that 500 species bite and only 12 of those have venom strong enough to harm us, humans. Good to know but I am still not liking the critters. UGH!!

When I was a kid I used to catch and play with spiders. They're harmless.

I don't think they bugged me near as much when I was a kid.

I don't like them either. Actually I believe it's a common phobia. Mostly we get the wolf spiders. They won't hurt you, but to me all spiders look creepy and freak me out. So far I've been able to keep most spiders from coming in with the antipest spray I've been using. Last summer I had a spider in my bed when I went to make it in the morning and it really creeped me out. So I'm trying to not let that occur again.

Same here. They don't have to hurt me to freak me out.
