In fact, as far as I know, the people with contact with snakes are LESS likely to be afraid, cause most snakes are harmless to humans and so holding, seeing etc them helps people to realise that.
I'd like to know that myself. Simply saying that "Humans have been scientifically proven..." is meaningless regardless of the topic. "Scientifically proven" by who? A legitimate research group or a group with an agenda? What was the purpose of the research? What methodology was used? Unless such questions can be answered, I cannot take claims of scientific proof seriously, regardless who is making the claim or whether I want to agree with it or not.

Kudos, Ub3rD4n, for asking a very good question.
