I'm thinking it's the fangs coupled with the venom. I think we freak out when something can cause us more injury than just the physical flesh-tearing. A bear might be scary, because it has large teeth, but almost no one has a bear phobia, and I think that's because the physical damage of the teeth is a lot more bearable (sorry) to our minds than the insidious, deceptive poison damage.
