I can't stand them either. Hooray for Tilly!!
When I was about 4-5 years old I was riding to the elevator with my dad in his semi (he was a truck driver) and I was asleep in the bunk and when I woke up my whole stomach was covered with spider bites. And my whole belly was one big spider bite.
It was huge!!
I get freaked out reading stories fiction or not about them laying eggs in people. YUCK!
The other thing that freaks me out are wasps. When I was in the 5th grade I was in bed trying to go to sleep and I kept feeling a stinging sensation and finally after the 3rd or 4th one I jumped up outta bed and went running, screaming downstairs. My mom was on the phone and my sister was in the bathroom and after we got the baking soda on the stings we went upstairs and there were 3-4 wasps in my bed under the covers!!!
shuddering thinking about it!
