Mice, insects, spiders, snakes (even the non-venomous) are just some examples. Even if they stand no chance at hurting us, they make us uncomfortable to downright fearful. Why is this?

Well a snake or spider might not do much damage to you but you certainly don’t want to experience thatso you just avoid it. Which is common sense. It’s also subjective, some people aren’t afraid of bugs, others are.
