I always try to think that it is something in our history that makes people afraid of snakes.

However, it seems odd when you compare cultures. Some fear snakes, some worship snakes, some do both We live in a country that is rather 'weak' in terms of fierce snakes.....LOL....we have no cobras, mambas or giant pythons! Yet we are probably the most afraid of snakes from what I have seen....I wonder why that is?
