I am not afraid of any of those.

However....

They left my #1 off the list.

A friend of a friend has a phobia of alligators. She lives in California, where there’s clearly no danger of them

Most spiders and snakes are harmless (or almost so), but a phobic person would go into panic over any spider or snake, even a garter snake or a Daddy-Long-Legs.

My daughter has 4 out of those 10, plus an really weird one — sunflowers — no lie ... they totally creep her out, especially a large field of them.

She also has problems with Tim Curry (understandable), butterflies that are flying towards her, clowns (also understandable) and the new, singing Brawny paper-towels guy ... think maybe she needs some therapy ... eh?

. A victim’s inability to keep his or her eyes open is the first sign of poison

I must have a coral snake hiding under the desk. This happens to me every afternoon around 2:30PM.

Phobia for ticks of all kind. Highly allergic and always start the Spring season with a tick bite or two. Seem I just draw ticks, kind of like a ‘Tick Magnet’.

Does she need therapy? I don't know, but I would use a two word phrase to describe her condition and the first word starts with "bat." LOL!
