today i learned that a spider is more likely to kill you because you had a heart attack when it crawled on you, than to even bite you let alone bite with venom let alone bite with venom serious enough to harm you.

i don’t remember when i became afraid of spiders, but if someone worked to instill this fear in me, if that is the way in which this fear begins in arachnophobes, than those fuckers are doing more killing than the actual spiders.

The movie that made me scared of spiders was called Arachnophobia and it took a pet tarantula to get me to stop being scared. While its not the sole reason people are scared of spiders, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had the same effect that jaws had
