Arachnophobia
(fear of
spiders) is a very common fear. Many people with this fear are
deathly afraid of the eight legged creature that makes its home in
the corners of our houses. Though most people seem to be afraid of
a spider’s bite, it is unlikely that one will bite you unless you
bother it. A Daddy-Long Legs, for instance, can’t open its mouth
large enough to bite a person. Other people are afraid of spiders
because they see them as big, hairy, gross creatures.
There really isn’t a
way to cure Arachnophobia though I suggest that you do not kill
spiders and try to follow these tips:
Watch the spiders and
try not to freak out
Catch grasshoppers
and throw them into the webs of big spiders and watch them wrap it
up
If you have a spider
by your bed, name it and talk to it about your day
If you find a
Daddy-Long Legs let it walk on your hand and arm (it tickles)
