    What type of animal makes your skin literally crawl? A critter that you recoil instantly from the sight of?

    Snakes? Rats? Insects?

    For me it's centipedes and scorpions. The mere sight of them freaks me out!

    Mice and rats. I'm not any more scared of rats than mice - to me they're the same. It's not just a fear it's an irrational phobia. If I accidently open a page and there's a pic of one Id freak out. Can't watch them on tv. Even talking about them makes my heart beat faster

    Surinam toads. They are revolting and creepy. It actually disgusts me. If you're trypophobic don't Google them.

    And if you're not trypophobic, you probably will be after seeing the video.

    Why do you have to inject politics into something that has nothing to do with politics? Just Why?

    What about arms? If something has that many arms? Is that OK? I think this should be permissible. Centi-arms. Centi-arms should be revered. God-like creatures. Centipedes should be shot.

    All bow to the Centi-arm!! It of a hundred arms; it who shakes our grateful hands all at once!

    When I was in the U.S I'd frequently encounter a skunk on my walking route. One time I completely freaked out , let out a scream and ran to the other side of the street.

    Yeah I'll totally cross the road or turn back and go another way if I see one. It's pathetic really, but it's probably because we haven't got them in Ireland (that I'm aware of anyway), so they're still a bit alien to me. Their spray isn't that bad either tbh
