Fortunately I'm not a true arachnophobe, I was never scared of spiders until that incident but I had a healthy fear of them for years afterwards. The thing is I have a great love of life and I'd rescue spiders from my bathtub rather than see them drown so eventually I decided it was stupid being afraid of something that I would go out of my way to save. I still don't like touching the really big ones though
I think I would die if that happened. I started screaming when I was sleeping in a tent three years ago and woke up to a spider about quarter size about a foot from my face. I do not like spiders.
I remove ( kill or relocate to outside ) spiders on sight. They don't bother me but they drive my wife nuts. This morning I woke up to
" AAAAAAHHHH, there's a bloody spider in the shower! ".
Such joyful times are christmas....
My notifications are playing up, its happened quite a few times, I never got a notification that the thread was commented on (AZ) until another person comments (Daize).
I think we're going to have to keep our eye out for AZ...........
