My kids choking or drowning...I think that it is going to happen all of the time but the likelihood of it actually happening are small.

Dogs. :p I had too many bad experiences with them when I was little and now I'm SO uncomfortable with them. If there's not an owner or a person familiar with dogs around and one comes up to me, I'm terrified.

Animals with Hoofs -- I hate hooves they just don't seem normal to me
LOL, I almost fell out of my chair, and then I had to read this to my hubby!
Me too! I did say irrational 
hooves in jars??? what is that about?
It is foul! It's supposed to be a "delicacy", but it is still gross all the same. I'm grossed out when people talk about eating pigs feet! Disgusting!

Cockroaches, especially big flying ones! I get a crippling fear! True story: One night, Bee and I were going to bed (it was 1am) and I laid down in my bed and looked up to the ceiling, and I saw a roach! I booked out of that room, and Bee said "whats the matter?" I told him and said you need to go in there and kill it! Well, he took a brrom and tried to kill it, but instead knocked onto the floor, where it then disappeared! UGH!!!!!! I was crying, blaming myself, saying that the house was messy (it really wasn't) and that this is the reason it came into our house. My hubby tried to calm me, but because I was so terrified, he was getting scared too! Ha! Needless to say, we slept in the living room (it was after 2am!), and when we woke u, we made another attempt to find it. Nothing. So, we went into the bathroom to brush our teeth, and about a foot away from me, was Bee's shorts. He felt the need to move it, and that's when it scurried out!!! I jumped high in the sky, screaming, and ran into the toilet room in the bathroom, jumped up on the toilet and clung to the wall for dear life, while my husband smashed it with a shoe, saying "DIE!!! DIE!!! YOU F*CKER!" That same day we had our pest control people come by and spray the outside. He told us that this is the time of year that they pop up and they look for moisture since it was so dry outside. At least it wasn't that the house was filthy, which was not the case.
Yeah... true story, but now I have the heebie jeebies just thinging about it!
This sounds like me. ;]

Bugs. Oh my gosh. If I see one anywhere near me I FLIP out. I try to be calm, but even flies scare me. I know how ridiculous that sounds but they just scare the bejeezus out of me. =o

I have an irrational fear of any kind of pest. They carry disease and that freaks me out BIG TIME!!! I found some mouse poop in our house. I Threw all most all of our food away and sanitized everything! I was honestly ready to move out of our house that day. I told our apartment manager and he told me that all pests have been really bad here this year. BLEGH!!! I havn't seen any sign of it since, but I am still very mindful of it.

Bee stings.. & I'm not allergic. Actually, one day my SIL went on and on explaining to me that it is irrational and what I can do to make it better (eye roll) lol!
I just don't like them.. they don't even hurt that much, but for some weird reason I have this insanley fear of getting stung, and now i'm scared that my daughter will get stung.. I'm trying not to pass along my fear to her. I'm one of those people when I see a bee, I go running around like a crazy person, LOL!

I used to have these fish which kept exploding! They were tropical fish and I had the right tank and all. We changed everything from the filter to the food and nothing worked. I'd go check them in the morning and they'd literally be floating with their guts hanging out. So creepy! Then a couple of the other fish turned cannibals and ate each other so a couple times I found fish skeletons. Safe to say that was the end of my relationship with fish!
AHHHH!!! I never even thought of this... something new to scare me
