I used to be scared of having any spiders in my room, and coming from a country that has a LOT of spiders, that can sometimes be difficult. I was afraid that even tiny spiders would crawl in my ear or up my nose, and bite me on the brain, killing me. I had to check there were no spiders before I went to sleep, and if I had to kill one, I always said sorry to it first.
