I have a phobia - insects. Especially spiders. The smaller the worse. Well, if they are big enough I do feel a tiny little bit safer, and when they come out as giants I even dare take photos. There was a "huge" brown spider in my bedroom at Vadstena last week, as soon as I saw him I heard his whisper "Hi there lady. Shall we make friends? As soon as it gets dark I will come over and do my special spider dance on your beautiful face". I love making new friends, but there are limits! A colleague had to come to my rescue, and the spider is now dancing "elsewhere".
What is your phobia? What scares you enough to make you lose your senses?
