The Most-Searched Phobia in Iowa

In honor of the Halloween, the home security site YourLocalSecurity.com recently put together a list titled: America’s Top-Searched Phobias in 2018. Do you have a guess on what the winner for Iowa is? Yep, it's SPIDERS. "Fear of spiders" was tied with "fear of people" for the most-searched phobia in the entire country, both coming in first place in 11 different states. "Fear of driving" came in second place, followed by "fear of heights," "fear of needles," and "fear of commitment" with three states each.
