I understand arachniphobia is real, but do they realize that there 100 times the size of a insect and all you have to do is either step on it or crush it in your hand? Its seems that girls are more afraid too. Im not saying every girl is afraid, but every one thats a girl is afraid.
I ask this because my sister was just freaking out about a bug a couple mintues ago.

What I dont understand is that if you live in America there virtualy NO posionous spiders indigenous this land. Most poisonous spiders are in places like Africa, and brazil. People are under the assumption that all spiders are poisonous and there just not.

Because they come too close to our personal space. How would you feel if a complete stranger started crawling all over you?

lived interior the azores and had backyard spiders (super , bushy, yet "possibility loose" HA) thrown on me at a while 2-4 via bratty boyz. So , i've got had a hell of a time doing away with this phobia...yet no longer afraid almost as much as I as quickly as became into. I have been given a tat on my decrease back/hips/butt of a brilliant spider internet reason that is rather the only element i've got ever been petrified of. i'm nonetheless no longer comfortable comfortable with them...yet i'm able to now certainly camp on the floor in factors the place tarantulas are (waiting , lurking, waiting to pounce and scare the holy hell out of me :) ...that could in no way have been accessible some years in the past. i did no longer even like driving via (heavily ...lmao)...arizona , west tx, or nevada.

I think we are brought up to be told they are dangerous ,have sharp fangs and can cause a painful bite. I think also seeing 8 legs instills some type of terror in us.Most are non poisonous.A few are very deadly.The Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax Robustus )is one of the most poisonous Spiders in the world. Fortunately antivenom is available at all Hospitals.

I'm a girl and I'm afraid of spiders cause a venomous one bit me by the face when I was little and I had to undergo a surgery because of that!
I like watching spiders,I think they're interesting but if one claws on me I'll start screaming!

Probablly because some of them are poinsonous. Also, they feel pretty strange when they crawl over your skin. Yick! I am a girl and I will admit I hate spiders...not really scared of them, just find them gross.
Your additional comments are not true. Grandaddy long legs are poinsonous.....Look it up....they are probablly one of the most poisonous spiders you will ever meet in the U.S., BUT their mouths are too small to bite you with. Seriously, look it up.

BECAUSE THEY'RE CREEPY, THEIR LEGS ARE LONG, THEY LOOK SCARY WHEN THEY WALK, WHEN THEY LAND ON YOU THEY TICKLE...BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY...THEY BITE, SOME ARE POISONOUS, SOME ARE FURRY, THEY HAVE TOOOO MANY LEGS!
THEY ARE JUST SCARY! I don't know if I have aracniphobia, but I am terrified of even the SMALLEST spider.
*shivers* at the THOUGHT of spiders.

Probably because some spiders are posionous, and deadly if they bite you.

they have eight super hairy legs, eight disgustingly frightening eyes and one bite from them causes instant death sometimes. It's worse when they're black and have long thin legs, I'll faint if I see one of those.
