What is arachnophobia?
Arachnophobia, like many phobias, often develops during childhood.

Arachnophobia means more than being scared of spiders and other forms of arachnids. It is an intense, paralyzing fear where someone actively avoids contact with spiders. This can impact a person’s day-to-day life as it restricts where they can go and what they can do.
