Well, that's the think DC.. I keep wondering if half of this is myth or fact. It keeps me up at night sometimes. It looks to me that we share the same phobia. I'm so terrified of these creatures. Ok no laughing here: I'm too afraid to swat them (and spiders) because I think; what if they make eye contact with me and I miss. They're not only going to have adrenaline pumping they're gonna be angry at me and seek out revenge right? So in total fear of missing and being attacked... I usually act extremely girly and scream for my husband to come rescue me from all things arachnid and roach like. Now, the wierd thing is that I'm not freaked out by insects or other creapy crawlies. It's just the spiders and roaches...
Oh and Vail... I when you said that you only know they're dead when you see their guts spewing out of their head and abdomen... two words TERMINATOR TWO!!!!! Ok so maybe that is very unlikely to happen but they don't call this an "unnatural" phobia for nothing lol.
