    Big bridges, especially at height, but only when I am driving. It's worse if the traffic is bad, or I cannot see both ends, and the worst is the old ones with corrugated metal instead of a solid surface.

    Wasps , bees and Hornets. Snakes, and spiders don't bother me. I had a pet black widow spider in a hole in one of the analyzer shacks I worked in at the plant. She was nearly dime sized (counting the legs). I used to catch insects and feed them to her, but then I went on vacation and my relief as analyzer tech killed her. I felt like he was a murderer. I think the wasps/bees thing stems from my being stung 10 or more times once as a kid when I disturbed a nest.

    high Foot Bridges were a deadly fear of mine when i was a kid,
    one day crossing a Bridge in Florida when i was 6 or 7, my father
    gave me one of those grab you by the shoulders from behind & yell
    "LOOK OUT"
    and i was terrified to walk across a high bridge until i was 20,
    when i stood, walked and ran around in the center of the bridge over Lakeshore between the CNE Grounds and Ontario Place till the fear was gone.
    to face a fear is the only way to be rid of it.
