I understand that fear of snakes can be very real, but they aren't out to get you, you know. They'd just as soon mind their own business.
It is only rattlesnakes and I am terribly frightened of them, I am not even sure I am strong enough to face them. I think it comes from the developing they did near me as a child and they claimed rattlesnakes were a problem at the park. At the time only one hospital in town had anti-venom and it was a 40 minute drive. I wish I could get over my fear of them, I should try.
