Not all spiders scare me, but certain ones, like the Brown Recluse, scare the living shit out of me. I have this fear that one will be crawling on my face, and when i panci and swat it away, it bites me, and then i get rotting necrosis on my face and end up horribly disfigured.... Wandering spiders scare me too.

I also have a horrible fear of extreme heights. the weird thing is this; i am afraid to be say, 60 feet above the ground in a building, but being in an airplane is exhilerating. if i am flying, no biggie, if i am on a structure of some sort 9or see it on tv), i damn near shit myself. There was a thing on Discovery last night (Etreme Engineering) about a building being erected in Europe called the Twisting Torso. its a big apartment complex shapped like a twizzler. Anyway, they were showing one of the tall-crane operators, and his crane was 500 feet in the air! He took an elevator to almost the top, but had to climb, outside, unprotected, up a ladder the last 20 feet (i'm sweating just writing this), and one of the days they showed, they shut down operations because the wind was going over 45 mph.... and he had to climb 20 feet of ladder, 500 feet off the ground... i kept saying "fuck that!' and got all tense and sweaty....

Brown Recluse spiders are some of the only deadly spiders here in Michigan. They are VERY quick and VERY poisonous. You have every right to be afraid of them ( I know I am).

Not in my bedroom. I'm anal about that stuff. I clean out all the corners in my room every couple of days, whether it needs it or not. I don't have anything sitting on my floor except for furniture (that all gets cleaned as well). I vacuum a lot. I have never once seen a bug in there.

Did I mention I have OCD?

I'm sure it happens, but not as often as in most peoples houses. Believe me, if you walked in my house, you'd be afraid to touch anything. It looks more like a museum than a house.

That is an urban legend, completely untrue. Maybe happens once a year worldwide.

I saw a medical show last week where u guy had been bitten by one. He lived in Illonois, and apprently they are exceedingly rare in that state. Well, after he recovered (a big chunk of his thigh had to be drained and removed...uck) He and his girl put sticky traps all over the apartment to catch any others that might be around. They moved out almost immediately because every night, they were catching 3 or 4 of them. The building was INFESTED with them. They said it was lieka horror movie, knowing what they could do, it was terrifying to find som many every day. of course, they didnt say shit about whether or not anything was done about the infestation, or if someone else moved into it unknowingly...

Dont move into any apartment complexes in Illinois for a while....
