I loathe, despise, dislike and have an all around disdain of spiders. Give me a rat or a snake or any bug (except for centipedes cuz they're creepy too) but just no spiders!!!! Amen

Yay! I’m not the only one!!

I can stand seeing spiders in the house but not snakes!

Omg.....I thought I was the only freak with a puke phobia. I'm 51 and have puked exactly twice.....that's right ....twice in my life. If I hear someone puke it freaks me out and if I see them puke I go into full panic attack.

Nope. I've known a few of us. I'm pretty sure I have a world record for not puking--
43 years, lol! There's actually a word for it; it's EMETOPHOBIA. Look:

Emetophobia is a phobia that causes overwhelming, intense anxiety pertaining to vomiting. This specific phobia can also include subcategories of what causes the anxiety, including a fear of vomiting in public, a fear of seeing vomit, a fear of watching the action of vomiting or fear of being nauseated.

People never believe that I have a puke phobia and am a nurse, lol. I've been able to deal with it as a school nurse, because kids puke a LOT--but I still make all kinds of grossed-out faces when I'm handling pukey kids, I'm sure.

My husband knows if he gets sick he's on his own cuz I am NOT going in the bathroom to help him (I am the one laying in bed with my fingers in my ears and eyes closed, singing to myself so I don't hear him, lol!)

Everyone is always like "Oh, puking's not so bad, you feel better when you're done" but I would rather get stabbed in the eye with a red-hot knitting needle than puke. I'm not kidding.

Hence the severe anxiety about the scope possibility! I feels your pain, Suzi!

ETA: Oddly enough, my fear totally does not apply to animal puke! My dogs puke, I clean it up with no problem. And baby spit-up does not really bother me. Just full out child or adult puke. I'm a freak, I know...

I’d much prefer to kill a snake than even SEE a spider

Eeeewwweee not a PET spider... I cry when I see spiders... I start hyperventilating and then the tears start rushing... I HATE those icky spiders (Keep in mind I’m 19 So it’s kinda weird)

I have a cousin with a snake phobia. He will not walk through tall grass because you never know if a snake will be there or not....

I have to thoroughly check my coop for spiders... if I EVER see one, I make my neighbor come kill it.
