Limaxaphobia: Fear of slugs. Anyone who's been around me when I've spotted one of these creatures knows that it is no joke. I am not myself. I squeak, I shriek, I flee -- and if I've been unlucky enough to come into any contact with the thing, I shed clothing as I bolt into the house.

Don't bother handing me the lame argument that they can't hurt me. Of course I know they can't hurt me. Other people are afraid of roaches, which are equally as harmless. That's why they call it a "phobia" and not a "rational personal preference."

No worries, me too. I even have a panic attack if there's one in the house.

I have the same problem I break down and get violent. But WTF you get them in your house?

Dude I totally feel you... Even if I think I see a slug I break down in tears.
