    I still have an irrational fear of insects, I don't think I'll ever get over it.

      At a distance I'm cool.

      But as soon as one crawls on me I shriek like a little girl. Oh, and let's not forget the wild arm flailing as I'm running away... on second thought, yes. Let's do forget that.

        I have to pretend to be cool with handling insects in the house. They aren't that bad buy I would prefer that I didn't have to mess with them.

          Unfortunately, I'm the bug killer in the house. My wife and 2 boys are even worse than I am...

          So I have to deal with the bastards while they laugh at me. My family's cruel.

          So does that mean you are the one to deal with them?

        I'm not afraid of insects, but if anything small crawls on me,I slap it without thinking or looking . Once I slapped a harmless lizard that had plopped on my arm..It was not hurt,but I sure felt guilty.

        I am actually ok unless the insect is above me. Then I will be running and shrieking as far away as I can.

      Same here, especially the tiny ones.

      The way I start sweating when I see a bug in my house. It's awful.

        Have you tried turning the AC up?

          This is a good suggestion because it cools the air down.
