PhobiasWhat gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

WaspsI have an irrational fear of wasps (and hornets for that matter) used to lump Bee's in there too, but nowadays they don't bother me. I can actually stand to be in a room with a waps long enough to kill the bastid now too..Hornets I still run from.
It's stupid really, the few times I have been stung by a wasp it never hurts much, yet I still fear them.
I blame my mother, she was allergic to the stings so I guess it influenced me when i was little.
I'm 33 now and still can't stand 'em. Luckily not quite as bad as I was when I was a kid, but still not good. Why do the buggers always seem to chase me though? do they KNOW I fear them????

I had quite a nastly allergic reation to a wasp one timeI sttod on it and was paralyzed from the waist down for a few hours. I've never had one since or before that, I don't know what caused it.

Irrational fear? no.As wasps can actually cause harm a fear of them isn't irrational. An irrational fear is of something that it makes no sense to be afraid of, like tables.

Actually..as far as I am concerned, as wasp stings don't actually harm me all that much, I'd class it as an irrational fear for me.
As I am the one making the post, and I believe it to be irrational for me, then it's an irrational fear.
Thanks.
Goodbye.
