I got over my fear of spiders by learning more about them. I can better
identify the brown recluse so I know to stay away. I just try to avoid them
if they are outside (after all they eat all the bad bugs in the yard) or I
kill them if they are in my house. Or if my cats get to them first, they
kill them for me. (Good kitties!)

Unfortunately, some people don't care how harmless or docile a snake is. 
This woman I work with is so afraid of snakes she is irrational.  She has 
her son kill any she finds in her yard while mowing the grass. And here's 
the funniest and most irrational part.  If she's driving her car on the road

and spots a snake also on the road, she stops and waits for it to move 
along.  Why you say? Wouldn't she just run over it to kill it?  No, not a 
chance. She's afraid if she runs over it, the tire will throw the snake up 
under the car and it will crawl inside.  Yes, I'm serious.  At least she 
doesn't kill the ones on the road.  I've tried to talk some sense into her 
but it ain't happening.
