However, I have gotten an angry letter from a father who was infuriated by the presence of demons in the game. With a nice note of thanks. And sometimes I put things up on my wall. Phil's been a friend of mine for a few years, and he loves my games. What most people don't realize is how harmless most spiders are.
Tarantulas are very delicate creatures.
A fall from a few inches can kill them. There are only 2 sorts of spiders in this country who can actually harm people, and, with medical attention, they aren't actually dangerous. None of this can cure a phobia, of course, but it does make borderline people feel more comfortable. I love my tarantula.
