SNAKES- ANY KIND OF SNAKES!!!
My family went out on a picnic when I was a little toddler and my brother (4 yrs older than me) found a snake so he brought it over to show us and I reached out to touch it with my finger and the snake PROMPTLY BIT ME!
ODDLY I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THIS..
When I was 6 or 7 years old, I was told by parents about this because I had FREAKED out at a birthday party for a cousin who had a pet snake. I couldn't understand why I was so terrified of ANY snakes.
I have this scar from the snake on 1 of my fingers. Parents said as the snake bit, my brother panicked and pulled so the fangs tore through my finger. Dad trapped the snake then rushed me me to the ER to check for poison. After an hour of seeing a stupid DR who was scared of snakes himself try to test the snake for poison, another doctor came in, asked what was up and after hearing what happened.. He said, "The snake is not poisonous." The other dr asked how he knew without testing, and the 2nd dr looked at him and said "If the snake was poisonous, that kid would have been dead by now." and walked off.
I cannot even watch a movie or tv show that has snakes in it. I have a SERIOUS phobia of snakes.
