Is it normal to be absolutely terrified of lizards?

I am utterly horrified of lizards. I'm paranoid about them all the time and it's ruining my life. I saw a little brown lizard in my bathroom about two weeks ago and I was in hysterics screaming and crying for over two hours and I haven't used that bathroom since..I'm not this scared of any other living creature and I don't know why I feel this way. IIN???

            Have you been attacked by them before? Did the lizard run away when you saw it? If I was that lizard I would never come back after hearing someone scream for two hours. I think you're safe.

              they've jumped on me before (one time one jumped on my face when I was younger and I think that contributed to my phobia) also when I was really little I used to play with them all the time but then one time a brown one bit me really hard and wouldn't let go of my finger and that was traumatizing..

    An unfounded phobia; many people have them. It can be cured by desensitization, which is gradual exposure to them until you can tolerate them.

    I seriously dont understand phobias like this, I adore all reptiles and own a snake.
    However I used to be scared of spiders but I have to kill them all in my house so overtime I just got desensatised to them

      I am not really afraid of snakes but I'm always cautious around them (seeing as I never know which ones are poisonous or not)

    I use to be afraid of lizards until I moved to the island and lizards started getting into my house all the time. I just accepted them as harmless and a minor nuisance. Actually most lizards are good for eating pests like flies and roaches. Snakes are a different story though......
