Unusual Phobias

Fear is a useful instinct. It usually prevents people from doing something rash or protects them from danger.

Sometimes, however, people develop fears of unusual things.

This topic is about these strange phobias, and we present you a new unusual fear every day.

Arachnophobia, i.e. the fear of spiders, is familiar to many. But have you ever heard of bamboo comallophobia? Then you are probably not afraid of cotton wool.

Nomophobia, the fear of being unreachable without your cell phone, is certainly not a problem for you because, after all, you're holding yours in your hands right now.

So, go ahead and have fun.
