My 8-Legged Friends

I've always wondered, why do we find spiders to be so gross? For the most part, I've really never met a person who likes spiders. I don't mind the tiny ones, but if they are bigger than a dime I have a problem. But I feel like this is the same way most people are. So then, what is it exactly about these multi-legged creatures that makes people's skin crawl? I decided to research it. I couldn't find any legitimate research or tests to prove anything, but I did find many comments from people about them. It seems to be the multiple legs that get people freaked out. That and the fact that they're hairy normally. Whatever it is, it's just creepy.

Here is a little forum discussion...almost everyone agrees with the statement that it is the legs that gross people out.
