I have the BIGGEST fear of Barnacles... Especially when they are attached to the bottom of a boat... i cant even look at them... they give me goosebumps and make me feel dirty and like i need to have a shower... the thought of them growing on me or touching me... ahhhh

I have an extreme phobia of wasps. As soon as i hear a buzzing i freak out, and if a wasp has come near me i am constantly on edge after that, flinching whenever an innocent fly drops in my eyeline or even a speck of dust!! However, i'm not too embarrassed about this phobia as wasps are very aggressive in nature and i KNOW that they take great delight in stinging people (unlike bees who are just fluffy and cute)

SNAKES. I am terrified of them. Every summer I have a snake or two sunning itself in my yard. It will always be in my way and I have to toss pebbles at it until it finally slithers away. Though I know they are garter snakes and harmless. I can't walk by them, even at a good pace. They must be gone, for me to relax! You should see me gardening, it takes me way too long, as every step must be carefully orchestrated. Let's not even get into the spiders and Daddy Long-legs issues!!

Daddy Long Legs and Spiders. If I see one in my house, i can't relax until my husband kills and/or removes it. I have to actually see him do it to believe it is gone. I stay as far away as I possibly can while being sure to see that it is gone. After 30 years of marriage, he seems to be getting tired of rescuing me. help, I need a new "Knight In Shining Armour."

I. Hate. Slugs. I'm terrified of them. Unfortunately, they like to live in my back yard and stick to the side of my house. The sight of them makes me cringe.

I have an irrational fear of bugs. Spiders, insects, whatever. Every kind, no matter what size. I've been known to cower from tiny ants.

I have had a phobia of crickets for years. I do remember a time when I wasn't afraid of them when I was very young, but I don't know when or why I became afraid of them. However, I'm completely fine with grasshoppers; they're cute. Go figure.

when I was younger, I stepped on a slug while running into my Aunts house. It was on the sidewalk, and no, i had no shoes on. I remember how hard it was to get that icky stuff off my foot! its really, really hard to do. So, Ive always had a thing about slugs, I dont want to see them, dont want them near me, they make me feel icky all over. I can think about them, it makes me feel that way. I have no other words to describe this feeling, but "icky".
