There are standard fears that we see used in the press everyday, like homophobia and archnaphobia. But there are some others that are bizarre and downright funny. I suppose they’re funny if you don’t suffer from the psychological condition that actually paralyzes you at the sight of say, chopsticks (Consecotaleophobia) or more severe, eating (Sitiophobia.) Life is difficult if you’re afraid of eating!

\nPeladophobia is another interesting condition, I guess it contributes to the worldwide sales of drugs like Rogaine<\/a>. After all, it’s well known that fear is one of the strongest motivators for purchasing. Other interesting fear inspired products\/concepts\/ideas are cars (Ambulophobia), Fox “not” News<\/a> (Phronemophobia), McDonalds<\/a> (Geumaphobia), beards (Xyrophobia), Flander’s Leftorium<\/a> (Dextrophobia), multi-level marketing schemes (Peniaphobia), MTV<\/a> (Melophobia), sun glasses (Photoaugliaphobia), religion (Gnosiophobia), eHarmony<\/a> (Anuptaphobia), hotels (Oikophobia), toothpaste and mouthwash (Alliumphobia), viagra<\/a>\/cialis<\/a>\/et al (Medomalacuphobia), lemon fresh Pledge<\/a> (Amathophobia), reluctance to pull out of Iraq (Kakorrhaphiophobia), metamucil<\/a> (Coprastasophobia), and deodorant (Osmophobia).

\nOne thing is sure, after reading these terms I start to feel a touch of Hellenologophobia! Magic decoder of the referenced phobias available below the image…
