    Re: funny phobia list!

    I actually have a few of these due to past experiences that aren't so nice to remember. I believe it's a weak attribute to fear the unknown, so I try to avoid that at all costs.

    I think most of us here suffer from Ophidiophobia, clearly.

    Aichmophobia- Fear of needles or pointed objects.


    I have that....to the point of nausea at the sight of it on tv. I had to be carried into the bed the last time I had a vaccination--because I fainted as soon as I got a look at the jars of vaccines, the needles, etc., and couldn't stay conscious long enough to walk to the bed--or to walk out of the room afterwards for that matter!
