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?

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