Yeaah, compared to some other places I?ve lived the creepy crawlies are not big deal. I don?t like spiders either. The way they inject their prey or trespasser with thier venom before slurping down their dinner to me is a bit nasty. A friend of mine was bitten by a brown recluse and it literally killed a chunk of meat in his arm the size of an oreo cookie. The good thing about an enormous eight legger is that there is absolutely no way it could crawl into your mouth while you are sleeping. Hell, a spider that catches and eats chickens would be like the Alien on your face! So that is definitely a consolation to the OP.
