Tja, das ist wieder super wichtig. Und auch, dass man sich der Angst vor wem jetzt genau stellen muss... und dafür soll ich ein Abo lösen? Sicher nicht.

Die Hitze und Trockenheit treibt sie an Schweizer Badeflüsse, Seeufer und in Wohngebiete: Schlangen sind gefühlt gerade überall - für Phobiker eine Qual. So kann man sich der Angst vor ihnen stellen.
