>>1057403Same reason people get scared when they are around a gun even if it's locked up. It's foreign to a lot of people so it scares them for no reason.
I used to live in the Midwest on 30 acres. Would run around barefoot and just pick up spiders and shit. Loved playing with banana spiders. Now I live in Florida and it slightly gets to me when I get a grasshopper jumping on me at first. Just depends what people are used to.
