Yeah some arachnids freak people out, but it’s usually due or irrational fears. Even though Infact only hot species are dangerous . They don’t cause near as much damage as popular pets . You’d almost purposely have to get stung they aren’t intelligent enough do anything but self defense.

Wolf spiders still kind of creep me out, even after decade+ of keeping arachnids. I know they're harmless, but something in my brain lol

Irrational thinking. When we are no longer our best friend. Good overview: https://psychcentral.com/lib/stop-irrational-thoughts#anxiety-and-irrational-thoughts

At the sheriff station my Sis works at all the officers have taken a condensed course in recognizing and dealing with irrational behavior. It's really a good idea for everyone in virtually any social situation to know and be able to recognize it.

I keep scorpions and T's and aren't fond of centipedes and wormy things myself. :yuck:
