Crawly things oft make me cringe, pull back; stop in my tracks and start to panic. Among them spiders scorpions and snakes, are critters that I fear. They give me goosebumps; and my neck hairs stand straight up, if I but glimpse one.

For sure! A student, was in arms length of me, with a harmless snake wrapped around their arm. Nope — my head was a-spinn’n! Congratulations, Emile!
