Ok,Ok the short version.

When I was a teenager I worked on a crew that white washed barns. My job was to knock all of the loose stuff from the walls using and air lance. It took 2 hands to control the air lance. Had to wear goggles, dust mask and heavy cloths for safety.

If you hit a spider right, you could shoot it off a few walls, against your cheek, and under the goggles. This is quit a feat, but there are a lot of spiders in a barn. After a few times having spiders walking past your eye to your nose in the goggles and not being able to let go of the lance since it would knock you silly if you did, you lost your fear of spiders. Developed a technique where I could shake my head and push the spider to the bottom of the goggle, hopefully to fall out. If not, they would just climb up again.

A summer of this will remove your fear of spiders.
