why did you google them if you have a phobia again?

The really common spiders you'd find in your house, ghost spiders, are harmless. The worst bite you could get from one would just look and feel like a mosquito bite. :) Also, the really poisonous spiders are actually pretty shy, prefer not to be around humans, and only bite if you touch them or their eggs.

I've heard in some countries that they fry up spiders and eat them. -shiver-

NOT A FML. crazy

Want to know the positive side, OP? You admit that your phobia is irrational. I had a similar thing a few weeks back, it had lasted for a year or so; but as soon as I learned that it was irrational, I was able to just quit the whole thing in an instant. I hope for you that you'll be able to too.

this is random, but ROCKER SMILEY!!! m/*_*/m/

My little brother has OCD that works in tandem with arachnophobia, which means that if something is out of place he won't sleep because he is so worried about spiders . Every night he goes through a ritual of acitivities to avoid spiders. it's awful. I empathize with the OP.

That makes about as much sense as renting Arachnophobia, OP.
