Got a Phobia? Share it!

[Jude]

My phobia is wasps!  I have had a fear for as long as I can remember, and never understood why.  Everyone else would just be calm when one was flying around, but I was up screaming and practicing my ninja routine on sight of the thing!

Well, my cousin happened to mention what happened one day when she was over at my house when we were kids and asked if I remembered it.
We had a building behind the house and a mama cat had kittens in it. The building had a side window on it, so I grabbed a bucket to stand on so we could look in the window and watch the kittens.
I went first.  As I stood up I stuck my head right smack dab in the middle of a wasp nest and they stung me all over my head and face!!  My cousin said I was screaming and in a total panic. 

I don't remember any of that.  I guess I had put that traumatic incident out of my mind as I got older.
I was glad to finally know why I had such a fear of wasps.  I had gone for years not understanding my reaction to them.

I also have a slight phobia with wasps. Got stung in my eye when I was a young sproutling and lost half my sight due to it.

Still, spiders are #1 for me. Little buggers!
