A whole new level of "creepy",
My 54 year old bro is terrified of spiders. Also feathers...but that’s because we had pillow wars when he was little.
I am TERRIFIED of spiders. Have been for as long as I can remember. They’re just creepy. I am so bad, I can’t even look at a picture of them without freaking out.
Ok, so it appears that those old wives tales about being frightened when pregnant and passing that fear to the baby are true.
I wonder how much this study cost the taxpayers.
I know, it wasn't a nice thing to do, LOL.

Spiders are spawn. No one is going to tell me otherwise.
I walk just fine with 2 legs. Eight is just being greedy.
Jim Stafford knew this in the “70”’s
One summer, I went fishing in the basin. Garden spiders, aka banana spiders, were everywhere across the canal we were going down. I was laying on the bottom of the boat physically ill by the time we got through. My father wanted to know what in the world was wrong with me. Sadly the only way out was the way we got in.
“Scientists figure humans may be born with a fear of spiders and snakes”
Are these the same scientists that say that we are just a lump of cells until we are born?
and puppy dog tails?
Yes, just like THERE IS global warming due to humans..some scientists warn seas will rise, polar bears will drown, the Himalayas are melting..
There is no MAYBE as there is no ABSOLUTE.
But my blobfish is REAL!!! One of 8 newly found species living in the cave. Unless surgery gone really bad for Osama.

Spiders. I out grew being creeped out by them thankfully.
I can’t tell you how giant golden orb weaver webs I’ve had wrapped around my head while in the woods, or hand-sized huntsman spiders running circles on my bedroom walls as a kid.
One time I was in the woods and out of nowhere a baseball catcher’s breastplate padding appeared right in front of me. Then I realized I had a perspective problem, it was actually the belly of an orb weaver about a half of a centimeter in front of my eye. I dropped flat on my back and my buddies got a good chuckle.
Bump for weird science.
I remember when Mary Lou said
“You wanna walk me home from school”
And I said, “Yes, I do”
She said, “I don’t have to go right home
And I’m the kind that likes to be alone
As long as you would”
I said, “Me, too”
And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin’ hole
And she said, “Do what you want to do”
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her
And I said “This frog’s for you”
She said, “I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you”
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, “Hello, baby”
She says, “Ain’t you cool”
I say, “Do you remember when
“And would you like to get together again”
She says, “I’ll see you after school”
I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, “Come on over here”
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin’ to slip down her dress
And she said, “Let’s make it perfectly clear”
She said, “I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you”
If you weren’t working right now, I would know exactly what to expect from you as a post, dear sister.
I did see an old Wild Kingdom show where a guy goes mano-a snakeo and near drowns but neither seemed really phobia ridden. That Perkins fellow must’ve had a bit longer in his contract and being drowned wasn't part of it I assume.
I was BORN wid it! And it’s HEALTHY!!
odd there is not fear of Vacuum cleaners the preborn biggest real threat.
Thank goodness my Mother was only frightened by a Studebaker Lark when she was pregnant. It only took me one can of Simonize and two years of therapy to deal with it.
