The problem is most of these are also poisonous and if they bite you, you have like 30 seconds to live. I'll stick to the north where none of our spiders are poisonous, and don't grow the size of a cat.
Bugs have never bothered me, only thing about spiders that freaks me is spider webs. I have this weird fear of spider webs and will scream like a little girl if I run into one. I know they are harmless, I'm not even worried about what is inside it, it's the web itself. It's a really weird fear that I've had since I was a little kid. The actual spiders I will usually kill with my bare hands if I'm within proximity.
