Is it normal to be afraid of slugs?

Ever since I was a kid, I've had a weird fear of slugs. Just the other night I brought in a gym bag that I accidentally left outside. I set it down in my room and a couple minutes later I got startled and grossed out by a slug, about an inch long, that had crawled off the bag. It gives me the creeps knowing that I even picked up the bag to bring it inside. Is this normal?

    I was afraid of many tiny lifeforms. The past 5 months I've been working in environment protection. I am now out in meadows, woods and swamps all day. I've lost most of my fears within a short time. I've held so many bugs, spiders, frogs, newts, worms, snails and slugs im my hands and I actually find them kind of cute now.

    I like to touch them and play with them in my hands. Gooey mess but worth it. Slugs are better to play with then snails.

    Nope, just douse those bad boys in salt and watch them die of dehydration.

    Oh geez, me too. I kinda forgot about them but they srsly freaked me out as a kid, I think I've gotten over it a little, then again maybe it's just cause I haven't seen one in awhile :L

          Eastern Giant African Land Snail, they're actually fairly commonly available as pets, I got mine off someone who'd accidentally bred theirs. However I think they're banned in some countries (those where they'd survive in the wild) because they can become pests.
