Tuesday was National Face Your Fears Day.  And a few of our colleagues from Down Under did a segment that got a little too intense . . .

A radio host in Sydney, Australia named Erin Molan agreed to face her fear of SPIDERS by letting a small tarantula crawl across her hand.  But it turned out she was more afraid of them than anyone realized.

They brought in a listener to do it first, and that went okay.  But even during that, you could hear Erin in the background already having a panic attack.

When it was finally her turn, she kept saying she still wanted to do it.  But then before they even put the spider on her . . . she FAINTED live on the air.

Thankfully, she’s fine.  She was back up and laughing about it a few minutes later.  But they had to cut the segment short and go to commercial.

They posted a video of the whole thing.  You can check it out on their Facebook.  (She faints at 1:50.)
