Hello, my name is Michael and I'm a boviphobic. Yep, that's right, I'm deathly afraid of COWS! I can't go anywhere near them or I start to shiver and shake. I get nervous when I drive through areas where there are dairy farms and I can't ever go to a county or state fair because they may be there. I am not really sure where this stems from, but I know it's a definite ingrown fear. I know they are stupid creatures that wouldn't know how to hurt a person, but that doesn't matter to me. I now live in Spain, where they fight bulls. I have not brought myself to go to a bullfight yet because I think that would be my worst fear: having to run from and fight with a nasty cow.

Michael

spiders, yeah it seems pretty normal really, but they are evil, crude and the worst animal on the planet. i freak out at cartoon pictures of them, i cant stand the idea of thinking about their legs and their eyes, i cant handle the small ones, the little webs and how they kill for food, it makes me hurl [literally]to see one in person and photos make me cry and i have massive panic atttacks with take up to an hour to calm down from.

I hate moving furniture. I always feel like there's going to be an earwig or cockroach that crawls out from underneath some crevice onto my hand.

I'm fine with one, two, or three ants. But whenever I see a swarm of those little bugs--any little bugs, in fact--I get a tingle down my spine and temporarily freeze. Just the image of a collection of tiny little dots crawling around is horrible. The worst is when you see one ant, then two... and suddenly you discover a whole swarm about you. eeep.

I have an extreme phobia of birds, and particularly peacocks. It's quite hard to even write the word peacock - gives me the shivers!

A funny (or not so funny if you're me!) story - it stems from when I was very little and my parents showed me a picture of a small girl feeding a peacock (with it's tail feathers up, so pretty huge compared to the girl) out of the palm of her hand. And they thought it would be funny to tell me that the peacock was eating the girl. Thanks Mum, thanks Dad. :P
