    Spiders. We have 5 tarantulas and I'm ok with them being in their containers, but I refuse to hold them. You can add scorpions to that fear as well. Screw that! I'm ok with a lot of other bugs, though. Roaches, stick bugs and other harmless bugs don't phase me.

    Any kind of bees. Doesn't matter what kind. Honey bees, wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, you name it. You'd be amazed how fast I can run when bees are involved.

    Commercial flying. I don't trust the planes nor the pilots. I am perfectly fine with flying in small personal aircraft because I can take control if something can happen. Luckily my doctor hooked me up with some ativan for our flight here in a couple days.

    Riding passenger in cars. Can't do it. I will drive, thank you very much.

    Being in water alone, especially open water. Murky water and open water at night are the worst. I am ok with swimming in our little pool, but I wouldn't go in the ocean or a lake alone. I don't even like doing it with a large group of people.

    Other people's bodily fluids. I don't even like shaking hands with people.

    I have a few more, but I can't discuss them here. Most are probably irrational, but yeah...

    Guess you could chalk me up to a complete germ a phobe too.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
