I never really noticed until I came here how common fear of tarantulas really is? I'll tell people we have wild tarantulas and they'll react like "that's so scary how do you live????" Like. First of all they're only out in the countryside lol and second they just chill on the ground they won't bite even if you step on them and even then they don't have like any venom lol they're like small rats with eight legs and less diseases. I guarantee you we're alright we don't live in fear of them.

#this isn't meant to shame anyone who's scared of tarantulas but i thought the fact that they're not dangerous was common knowledge lol #like i've met a lot of ppl from very cold countries on this trip #and they all act like they'd die if they had to exist within a 10 meter radius of a tarantula.#i didn't realize y'alls lack of Beastie Tolerance was so dire. are y'all ok.
