And finally, phobias are a very scary ting indeed and tend to take over a persons senses when they kick in. I have seen some of the bravest and smartest people lose complete control when their phobia arose. So to all of you that have them, and are able to keep functioning, Bless you!

Very well said (((((Prophet)))))!!!!

Well-my phobia is jelly fish. On the beach, in the water, wherever.
I've never heard of anyone else having this phobia-but hey, never know i guess. Something about how gushy they are and can still sting you and they're hard to see. Oh, and black or green or red snakes in trees-only if they're in trees do they bother me.

I don't have a phobia of Jellyfish....but i certainly do not like them..
We have some doosies here in Oz and they cause some Qld (and other states too) beaches to close...
mtavistar - there is bound to be more people with this phobia...maybe not on Pixies...but somewhere out there

mtavistar, Sharni - a lot of the beaches up north here have been closed because there has been an influx of deadly jellyfish. and now they think they've found a new deadly species. so i wouldn't think it to be an uncommon fear.

Mtavistar ---
OMG --- you have the thing with the jellyfish too??? I thought I was the only one with that! I didn't mention it in my phobia spiel above because, well, it's not a very active phobia with me right now since there aren't exactly a lot of jellyfish in the Great Lakes... But put me anywhere near seawater and I get completely and totally creeped out. Took a trip down to the East Coast to go to Prince Edward Island with my family when I was a kid and from the first time I saw a jellyfish on the beach, I had nightmares every night.
Hmm. Come to think of it, I've had almost every fear or phobia mentioned on here to some extent. Gee, I guess why they called it generalized anxiety disorder, huh? Or maybe I'm just plain chicken...? (Nah.)
Hugs and courage to all.

I have a phobia about heights, but can control it now to some degree.
I have an odd phobia about tree frogs. (aka, sucker toed frogs) I get creeped out just looking at them. I have been jumped on by them before, and is the most disgusting feeling!! Living in south Florida, they are everywhere.
I have no phobias with other reptiles or animals. I am the kind of girl who goes fishing and camping. Taught her kids how to catch lizards and snakes. Will catch spiders and put them outside if they scare someone else in the house.(ifup to me, would happily cohabitate). This phobia bothers me. I think, they are just frogs, but when faced with one.... irrational fear.

One of my lil brothers... when he was about 6 jumped into the ocean and at the same time, it looked like 40 or 50 jellyfish surfaced.... they were all in his swim shorts all over his legs and stomach and back.... he didnt swim for the last week and a half of vacation.....
thought the swelling would never go down

legend---That is a different kind of swelling.They tell you not to
scratch Poison Ivy or not rub it because a liquid will come out &
spread the infection.With this kind of swelling;you rub the swollen
area;a liquid;comes out and; in most cases;the swelling goes down!Just a medical remedy to offer assistance.It has;worked;at least temorarily;for me.That's why they call me;Dr. Irish Irish

Lilith- I won't even go around bushes after dark. So afraid one will jump on me. One time, we were having a few beers around the pool. I had kittens at the time, so didn't pay much attention to something crawling up my leg. I reaced down to pick up the kitten, and it was a damn tree frog!! EEWWW!
*rubs her hand vigorously just from the thought.
Another thing that creeps me out are those wooden dummies. I saw Magic when I was a kid, and I still don't like the look of those things.

how can anyone be afraid of those poor frogs, especially tree frogs....we get really big white lipped tree frogs here, and they hardly move! you can pat them and pick them up and they don't care.
