What is Arachnophobia?


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).
