Arachnophobia is the scientific name for the fear of spiders. It
is the most common example of an animal phobia and many people
experience it mildly and for some people it has very intense
effects. TJ is one of those people.
While waiting for TJ's arachnophobia counseling session at the
doctor's office, Blondie decided to scout the area for a cache
placement.
In no time, she had stumbled onto a spider nest. Most of them
appeared to be non-venomous, so she decided that it would be a
great place to put a cache.

If you want to try for this cache and are only mildly phobic, be
aware that it can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from
loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include
shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat,
sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone
experiences fear of spiders in their own way and may have different
symptoms.
Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for fear
of spiders, side effects and/or withdrawal symptoms can be severe.
Moreover, drugs do not "cure" fear of spiders or any other phobia.
At best they temporarily suppress the symptoms through chemical
interaction.
So for all these reasons, Blondie takes no responsibility for
the health risks associated with this cache. (And please don't tell
TJ what I've done.)
Note: There are so many spiders around the cache that it is
virtually impossible to get to it without touching several of
them.
There is no writing instrument nor insecticides in the cache. So
bring a pen and whatever.
A TJ and Blondie pathtag is in the cache for FTF.
CONGRATULATIONS to Yadin for FTF
