Hundrends of documented parasites who can literally eat us from the inside, but no ...spiders are the fucking problem.

I think spiders are cool. I also have a completely irrational fear of them. I don't understand it, I don't have any clue where it came from, but spiders cause me to feel fear in a way unlike anything else in this world. I took it completely in stride when a doctor told me I "might not be ok" while looking at my xrays after a car accident in if I see a spider crawling across the bathroom floor while I'm pooping I'll break out in cold sweats. I like to think that I'm a pretty rational person so this drives me crazy.
