For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fear of slugs. I think it may tip into the realm of a phobia, as I’m so averse to them. The sight of one makes my skin crawl, and I feel a bit sick.
Last night, I got up around 2am to go to the loo (it’s downstairs). There was a small slug on the tiled wall. I wanted to cry. I told my DP, who got up and flicked it out of the window. It took me ages to get back to sleep. When I did finally get back to sleep, I dreamed that a whole family of them were in my bathroom, big ones! And that they wouldn’t die when I put salt on them lol. I asked DP to inspect the bath/shower before I would go in this morning. Never scrubbed myself down so quick in my life.
Now, I’ve heard about slugs being a nuisance in people’s houses. That they have a good memory, and will keep coming back even when put outside. I’m absolutely terrified that this one will come back. 
Or worse, there’s more lurking in there somewhere...
I’m so scared. I hate them SO much. I keep getting a lump in my throat when I think about that one on the wall. But I know it’s totally irrational. How can I overcome this fear?
