M, Phobia, my friend's experience

I don’t like any kinds of snake. Its skin surface is shinny and slippery with elongated body. It is disgusting for me especially when It creeps on the ground or in the water.I have a friend who hates and fears of snake more than anything in the world. When he first told me about his fright to snake. We both have got the same reasons and I think it’s normal to have feeling like this. I was wrong when we went on a trip together and he showed something to me.

While I was driving on the road, there was a big black snake quickly creeping across on road in front of our car. Suddenly, I heard my friend screamed out loud and covered his eyes with his hands. He had cold sweat andhis face and skin turned to pale. He seemed to lose control of himself. His reaction was remained for about five minutes till he was able to calm down, but he felt as if it was everlasting. . I’ve never seen him like this before and this is just one time that I has experienced

Even though, my friend is a surgeon who can see and touch everything in the human body such as blood, brain, heart, soft tissue and intestine, but for snake He cannot totally cope.
