I am still very much afraid of spiders. My sister had a pet tarantula when we were younger and it never broke out, but scared me to no end. I didn't even want to go in the same room as it at first. After a while though it got easier by understanding it was going to harm me - felt like it, but it wasn't. I think the main thing to get over is wanting to own and play with one more than wanting to run from it. I personally could never own one, but I admire people who do.
