Myrmecophobia

Keri's issue with ants needed a diagnosis and Myrmecophobia was as close as I could get. Its not that serious, she doesnt need medication, but it is an issue. Actually, all she needs is some liquid Terro traps and an attentive husband, but unfortunately she can only rely on the Terro traps. Its not that I like the ants, its just that there is a scripture that says we are supposed to consider them, not just kill them. And, we have the perfect laboratory in which to consider them. All we have to do is forget to clean up under the table after Daisha eats and within 15 minutes we can be fulfilling scripture left and right. So, if you have any medications or therapies that you can offer to help with Keri's Myrmecophobia, let us know.

I feel for you Keri! Several years ago when Chad asked the children what they should get me for Mother's Day, one smart alec son knowing my fascination with watching a HUGE anthill on my walks said "Mom likes to watch the ants so much, why don't we just leave the kitchen a mess and she'll have plenty of ants to watch without going outside!" :)

Maybe capture a couple ants and put them in Kirk's dinner, he'll be spurred on to get rid of the ants! :)

Hmmmm..I'll consider it.

Maybe it's a woman thing - OR maybe it's because she's my daughter and we think a lot alike when it comes to pesky creatures around the house. But in any case - I agree - I hate ants!

Love- Mom
