| I'm doing a report for school and I need to find out what percent of humans have a fear of heights. I know that everyone is born with two natural fears: fear of heights and fear of loud noises but I can't seem to find the percent. |

For the heights: Go skydiving one day.
For the noises: Hang around inside a factory all day for a few days or do the same in a club. |

I feel the same there as well, because a bee can interpret one of your regular, everyday actions as attacks to him. And, obviously, out of instinct, they go back at whatever tries to attack them (including humans). Nowadays, we have a reason to also be afraid of mosquitoes: West Nile Virus. I don't know if this is a worldwide phenomenon or not but, it's in my local area, as well as much of the US. |
