Phobias...

I'm afraid of that brain eating fungus in ants and other insects. The one that controls their minds and makes them climb up to a high place and then kills them while they're there, grows out of their head and releases spores to infect more insects around. I know it most likely won't happen to humans, and if it did, we would probably be able to figure it out and counteract it before it infected too many, but I still get jittery whenever I think about it.

I'm afraid of the inside of my bellybutton. Not bellybuttons in general, just the inside of my own. What's in there???

edit: apparently I already ranted about spines in this topic lmao

Not sure if I said it before, but I met someone who was absolutely terrified of walnuts. He had recurring nightmares involving them.

My friend hates squirrels with a passion. Whenever anyone says that they like squirrels, she says this "You're just mistaking your inner hatred for squirrels for liking them."   I don't know why.

Squirrels are a freaking abomination

Heights: Not afraid of at all especially if there are fences/walls or other stuff, maybe if you look down, but why do that if you're afraid of it?

Looking down is probably an instinct much like that jumping sensation that Capn' Sparrow be referrin' to.

Fun fact: this is the fungus that The Last of Us's infection was based on.

Anyways, I have a debilitating fear of spiders, but who doesn't amirite
and here come all the spider lovers to contradict me

I'm cool with spiders. They eat mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are evil.

That's what I use to think: more spiders and birds -> less insects like flies/mosquitoes.

thinking about them in the abstract disgusts me but looking at a spider irl is fascinating

Y, the only thing I find creepy about them is that: if I look at a lot of pictures of spiders for a while. It feels like branches, and other things that have somewhat similar shape to spiders, start look like like spiders at first glance.
