What are your biggest phobias? For me, I have worked for years to try and be just okay with a spider in the room — doesn’t matter how big or small, hairy or leggy. They are all equally terrifying. I’ve made peace with the fact they exist. I know they are cool. I know a little spider a couple of meters away won’t hurt me. But I am still stressed by its very presence. I’ve been bitten by spiders almost 10 times, so I have reason to be stressed out around them. So, too, apparently, do male mice have a reason to loathe and fear bananas.
