I'm truly not fearful of dying from a snake bite. It is crazier than that. I hate the very idea of snakes - they offend me for just being. Sounds crazy I know & I can't explain it but I'm just as revulsed by them as I am fearful of them. I truly don't think they can hurt me in any way - they'd have to catch me first!
But they can make me hurt myself or someone else should that person try to scare or tease me with one. I have NEVER been touched by one. I recently came to the notion that I could maybe work up the nerve over time to touch one but after today, I know that was a flight of fancy. I don't like anything creepy or crawly but snakes are the worst to me. I've honestly tried to like them, desensitize to them but I really can't. Eww. Ewwww. Eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww.
