fear that makes me sick

Is there something that just causes you so much fear that it literally makes you sick? Mine would have to be snakes. I don't know why, I have never had a bad experience where I was bitten or that I have even ever seen a live one in nature. I think it's because there is this element of the unknown. I could have some in my backyard or come across one at any point and I wouldn't know until it was right up on it, maybe even in striking position. That just send the bajeebees up my back....uck. When I see snakes, I start gagging. It makes me sick. They can be dead or alive, it doesn't matter. Once I was walking on a paved path with my friend and we came across a dead snake thrown over a fence. I refused to walk anywhere near it and we had to turn around. If I see one on the street and it's alive, you better believe I am running over it if it's near my house and I will even reverse it if another car isn't coming. I say all this because my neighbor, Ashley, sent an email the other day giving me a heads up that there was a snake by her front stairs and that it slithered off into the bushes closest to my house. Now, I find myself seeing this or other snakes everywhere. Do you do that? Do you make things out to something they are not when something is on your mind. There's a kids scooter in an overgrown yard. From a distance, it's a snake. There's a few leaves crumbled together, it's a snake. There's a hosepipe, must be a snake. There's a rabbit, again a snake. Seriously, if something is out of the norm in ours or other people's yards, it's guilty as a snake until otherwise proven innocent. Why do I do that? Oh and who would think that someone so scared would allow their son, to do this....

Yes, believe it or not, I have touched a snake at an exhibit. Mostly to prove to myself that I could do it and I knew that I may never get a chance again. Know that I didn't touch this one or get close to it, but I am not going to create fear in Dylan based on something I fear.

Is there anything that makes you so scared that it makes you sick?
