OK, I'll say mine, or at least it's a Phobia. I have a huge fear of Spiders. I don't mind the real tiny ones, but even some medium size, I can't stand! I don't hate them, I don't hate any sort of animal, but I'd rather not be around them at all! And from past experiences, I'll say I may have a small Phobia of them.

A Phobia is a fear of something that is so diblitating that it can cause a person to not live a normal life. Everyone hates spiders; I know I do, and it's worse when I find one crawling on my bed, or under the covers with me in the bed. But, if you had Arachnaphobia, you would be afraid of even the Grandaddy Long Legs. Note about Grandaddy Long Legs: this is the MOST poisonous spider on the planet; however, because of it's size, it's harmless to us. Interesting, huh?

Thats a popular one Neil. Some people get up such a big fear before, that they can pass out, or have a bad reaction, because it is a shock to the body. So I have been told, and it kind of makes sense too. Do you get that bad?

I remember one time, I was at the docs, and someone had an injection for Maninjitus (don't know how you spell it). He had a nasty reaction, whether his body rejected it, or he got so worried about it before, i don't know, but he was so pale and faint, everyone was sort of talking about it there!

The body reacts to things in different ways, on different things. We are all different. Even twins may not be the same. We all have our own way with dealing with things, reacting to things. Also, again like I said, getting worried about it can make it allot worse.
