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.

Nothing normalI have no normal fears. I have pet snakes and a tarantula, heights don't phase me, and public speaking is a breeze.
But there's a host of weird things that scare the crap out of me.
Mushrooms and dead crustaceans: anything that uses chitin as a structural protein gives me the willies. I can't touch them, and the thought of eating them will make me cry.
Talking trees: just scare the snot out of me. I've never been able to watch The Wizard of Oz, and I can't go in the gift shop of a Rainforest Cafe.
Rice Crispies: When I was 3, my mom poured me a bowl and said "listen, they're talking to you." I started crying and said I couldn't eat them if they were going to talk to me. Over 20 years later, I've never been able to eat them, or anything at all related. No Nestle Crunch, no Rice Crispie treats. Once, my boss's daughter found out about the fear, and put a single Rice Crispie in my mouth. I felt like I was eating a live bug.
