This is a question Phobias

What 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.

Spiders, --supersize me.....
I've always been afraid of spiders, to the point of throwing up if I saw one unexpectedly. Then I moved to a country where it never occurred to me that there would be giant spiders (doesn't strike you as a tropical paradise-type place). But you know what? after freaking out regularly, stipulating on my divorce paper that the only thing I wanted from my ex was his appearence at short notice to kill spiders, and befriending hopeless but macho men as arachnid killing back-ups, now when i go back to England and see a spider I can stamp on it or get close to accurately drop a book with no problems. So, the answer is, if you want to conquer your phobia, go for it in a big way. Obviously, I'm still terrified here, but for 3 weeks of the year feel totally heroic......

But why would it make you throw up?
I can understand wanting to run away screaming from spiders, but throwing up?

Spiders
Can't take stomach acid, they run off at the smell.

Ahh!
So it's an attack response.


Very clever.

Yep!
I am the master of small, boneless creatures.

Sorry...
I always forget how whip-y the end can be.

Damn dramatic cloaks
