Scared of Spiders? Take This Class!

A one-day class at the London Zoo claims to be a fix for arachnophobia. Afraid of spiders? So are millions of other people. Cleveland Clinic estimates up to 15% of the population gets more than the creepy crawlies from creepy crawlies. The London Zoo’s Friendly Spider Program calls itself “a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy,” with participants getting the chance to speak to the Zoo’s spider expert. Zookeeper Dave Clarke says they have a 98% success rate.
