    I used to be an arachnophobe too, but I found that the best way to overcome a phobia is to learn about the thing you’re scared of.

      Oh I am much better than I used to be. Mainly from reading water meters back in the day. So many spiders love being in meters you learn to just brush them aside and read the meter. I also know they are our bros just keeping pest away. But still…I blame a lot of that fear on movies I saw as a child. Kingdom of Spiders, and Arachnophobia are two of the most memorable. Especially since I love the latter one. There is also another spider movie that was aort of like Kingdom of the Spiders but don’t remember the name of that one. But that instill a lot of fear in me as a child.
