I hear ya!, your not alone! I think the worst senario was mentioned above
for me, walking into a friggn great spiders web in the dark and not knowing
whether the darn thing landed on you or not

Maybe I should of called this the spider fear curing thread, I know there is
a name for it, but my brain is only good for 6 letter words at 4:45am
