I know the question is pretty vague, but im an arachnophobic.

By "what kind" i mean if they are relatively big (3cm+), poisonous, etc.

I could google it, but it wouldn't be a good ideia. I bet some pictures of freaky spiders would pop up.
I totally sympathize!
Researching spiders is treacherous for those of us who are not only arachnaphobic, but have a strong visual memory. <shudder>

As long as they are not moving toward me and I back away from them, I am usually fine, but not always. If you see me having a conversation without another person in sight, you can bet I am talking to a spider or scorpion while scouting a safe and quick retreat..... its my coping mechanism.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
