Perhaps I'm wrong, but I understand "phobia" to be, by definition, irrational... far in excess of what's reasonable.
I don't like mice. And I won't think about rats. Funny... because I've done a lot of camping (especially as a boy in the BSA) and never gave a thought to what might be... um... there. But we occasionally get one in the house (NO IDEA how - maybe kids and not closed doors) and ... yeah.... phobia. I don't like spiders either but I can deal okay with that; they are easy to dispatch. I have no clue where either of these phobias come from. But they are both irrational... beyond what is reasonable and prudent.
I'm afraid of Satan, sin and heresy... but that's rational.

You'd be surprised how mice can find their way into something. It turns out they can get through an extremely small gap in something.

In fairness even if the mice did want to hurt us (you can never be too sure with those things...) a rational assessment is that a mouse against a human isn't a very evenly matched fight. Their only option is to steal our food and starve us into submission.
Now I'm hoping no mice are reading this forum and harvesting ideas...

I really don't like to be up high where I could fall. I don't have a good history with ladders.
