The arachnophobia is disgust or phobia of spiders. It is one of the most common phobias, and possibly the most widespread animal phobia. The reactions of the arachnophobes often seem irrational to others, and even affected himself. They try to stay away from any place where they think they live spiders, or where spider webs have been observed. If you see a spider from a distance, may be unable to enter the area, albeit spacious, or at least will have to do before an effort to control his panic, which is characterized by sweating, rapid breathing, tachycardia and nausea. Arachnophobia sufferers also when they see a spider is large or small, rush to eradicate spider, and always using some elongated object such as a stick, to avoid getting too close to the arachnid. The fear of spiders can determine where the phobic choose to live, or the place you will go on vacation, and limit sports or hobbies that you can enjoy.
Like most phobias, arachnophobia can be cured with psychological treatment. It is usual to use methods that gradually exposed to phobic animal that terrorizes (systematic desensitization).

What is Brontophobia ?
Also known as astraphobia,
brontophobia is a condition in which the individual experiences an
extreme fear of lighting and thunder. This type of phobia
is often present in a mild form with young children, but normally
begins to subside as the child enters adolescence. Household pets also
sometimes exhibit this fear of thunder and lighting as well. However,
there are instances in which adults develop this type of phobia, often
to an extent that it inhibits their ability to engage in simple tasks
like shopping, reading, or handling work projects during severe storms.
While
many people view brontophobia as a relatively benign issue, that is
rarely the case for anyone who suffers from the condition. When
lightning bolts appear in the skies or the sound of distant thunder
reaches the ears of the brontophobic, anxiety begins to mount. In mild
cases, the individual will usually practice some type of avoidance.
This can include putting off traveling during the storm, closing
draperies on windows, and moving to the center of the home in an attempt
to isolate oneself from the storm as possible.
