What is/was your greatest childhood fear?

[PatrThom]

Aren't some centipedes poisonous?

They're ALL poisonous.

Dunno. House centipedes have enough legs that it's like they've crossed right over into 'fuzzy.'

I had a longtime fear of the blood lancet. Even as a 10yr-old, when doing the annual finger prick, they would have to bring in another adult or two to hold me down to give me that poke. Later on in middle school science class, I got to stick myself for a blood-typing lab. It was a cakewalk. Ever since then, no problems whatsoever.

Sharks, I don't know why but I have an irrational fear of sharks. I can't venture too far from shore when doing water sports for that exact reason. Swimming in open water scares the hell out of me (unless it's somewhere that I know the be shark free).
