Oui. I used to be afraid of spiders. (Well, it was a mild fear. Not as extreme as some, I suppose.) My extremely undramatic method to solve this was to just kill them. First with a retractable pointer with a newspaper rubber-banded on the end, and then gradually I worked my way up to killing them with two layers of toilet paper. That’s the closest I can get to them, though. I can’t kill them with my bare hands…although I don’t mind if they crawl on me anymore. If I think about it too much, though (or look at closeup pictures of spiders) I freak out all over again.
