Myrmecophobia the fear of ants but widely known as a fear for all insects.

I have a fear of ants for multiple reasons. This would be serious if I wasnt trying to wash my hair but I'm telling this story cause a damn ant had the balls to be in the shower while I'm taking one, that ant is dead now. But anyways theres 3 stories so this will be a little long I'm sorry. The last one is the most traumatizing for me so uh if you make fun of me then please do light bullying. Please and thank you.

In kindergarten we had a field trip to the farm and I went of course but all the other kids had there parents with them while I had no one. I stayed 20 feet behind the group and no one cared or noticed. We were almlst done and while walking, I stepped into a ant hill that was halfway up my leg, I screamed and started crying. The rest is blurry but thats when I found out I was allergic to ants. I didn't go to a hospital just my normal doctor.

In 3rd grade my bed had ants on it because somehow food got on it. We assumed it was my cousins doing.

6th grade on the weekend I was laying on my bed watching Ever After High on Netflix for the 5th time. I sat up for a second to see ants on the top left of pillow I was laying on. I got up quickly and got off my bed which was only a mattress really. I looked at the wall and saw ants crawing on it then I looked up and saw them all over the ceiling. I started hyperventilating and couldn't move in fear, after five minutes I got up and ran out of my room. I told my mom and the problem was fixed but now where I see a ant I freeze in fear.

Again please be light on the insults. Please and thank you, have a nice day. I need to calm down and drink water..
