I was working outdoors in Arizona around a wood pile.

Felt something on the underside of my arm.

Turned my arm over and there was a black widow the size of a quarter.
Got it off just in time!!

Typically dont worry about spiders except for the brown recluse and black widow.
Ganjasaurusrex Reviewed by Ganjasaurusrex on . Arachnophobia arachnophobia - fear of spiders... It is among the most common phobias, and possibly the most common animal phobia of all. The reactions of arachnophobics often seem irrational to others (and sometimes to the sufferer himself, as well). People with arachnophobia may stay away from any area they believe to be inhabited by numerous spiders or covered in spider webs. ... Anyone got this?, or any other sort of phobia for that matter Rating: 5
