Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. As with most phobias the sufferer tends to suffer from panic attacks.

Sufferers of Arachnophobia tend to feel tense in an area they perceive to be occupied by spiders or that has visible signs such as webs. If the sufferer sees a spider they may not enter the area until the spider or cause of the attack is gone.

When an attack is triggered the sufferer may scream, cry or even have trouble breathing.
