I don't dare do something like that, it would be likely to give her a heart attack, not to mention she wouldn't even go out that door any more... she would have nightmares for weeks after as well. It isn't just a small fright for her, it is way serious... absolutely completely irrational fear...

100 % right on Fellro,
The fear of snakes is real, and puts the person that has that phobia in a VERY real, flight or fight mode. The closest time I ever come to shooting some one, was when I just got back from groundhog hunting, and had pulled in to my brothers farm to visit. One of his buddies had a big 4 ft long snake in a bucket that he had just caught. He pulled it out and headed toward me to show me, I warned him twice to keep it back away from me . He kept coming towards me with it and the next thing I know I was pulling out my Ruger 77V 25-'06 from behind the seat. I told him knee shots last forever and he stopped and turned back. I meant what I said.

one of the guys at work was afraid to touch a frog. t was trapped on a road we were working on and probably would have died or got squished by a machine so i picked it up and tossed it in the woods. the guy was really afraid to touch it.

I have breakmytruckaphobia.
We go wheeling on some pretty gnarly trails... the last time I had nightmares for two nights.
Can't really think of anything else; maybe I'm scared of phobias.
I don't think being scares of things that can hurt you is a phobia. Bee stings hurt, snakes kill, spider bites hurt.
