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?
In: Biology
small animals are usually carriers of highly infectious diseases (black plague, etc.) and if you see a spider or a snake youre not gonna take a closer look to see if its venomous or not, so our instincts kick in and tell you to get the hell away from it to stay safe. we didn’t have antivenom or modern medicine back in our primal days, so we had to be extra careful of anything that might hurt us.
