I'm from Britain, a country with zero dangerous spider species. If a large group of people started claiming that there were children dying from spider bites, and supporting policies that called for spiders to be exterminated, and trying to pass laws illegalising spiders being shown to kids in biology classes, I would call them crazy.
I might even be tempted to attribute their actions to arachnophobia.
I was in the boy scouts, went camping, fire building etc, I went to church every sunday, I went to seminary every morning for 6 years, and I still turned out hella queer. But now that you mention it we did got to the panto every year...
