The day I moved from China to Saipan was a nightmare! In China, you barely see a lizard because the buildings are very clean and tidy. However in Saipan, everywhere is mud...therefore everywhere is lizard.
When I was just about to got out the airport, I took the pushing cart and putted my packages in. There was a freaking lizard king on it and jumped inside my bag... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt know what to do cause I was afraid to search for it with my bare hands!!!! They are so disgusting and squiggly...
Why am I so afraid of lizards? I cannot recall an incident when I was bitten or hurt, if that's possible, by these harmless wall crawlers which may have triggered the phobia. In fact, I can't even remember when exactly I began to be scared of them.
And I wasn't really scared of being around them. We've always had lizards on our walls and I can still act normal even when I'm a few feet away from them. It's just the thought of somebody holding a lizard close to me that shoots an eerie feeling down my spine and a sense of fear that I cannot describe nor understand.
In my case, I really can't pinpoint a particular triggering event. As a child, I knew I was partly afraid of lizards. But I wasn't deathly terrified of them. So it could be that one of my playmates caught one and held it close to me, which intensified my fear of lizards. That would be a good explanation why I can be in the same room with lizards but I go nuts, and fly out of the room screaming, when someone holds it in his hand.
