Hi!
this tickled my funny bone, I doubt any of us suffer from any of them!
Alliumphobia- the fear of garlic
Anthophobia- the fear of flowers
Apiphobia- the fear of bees
Arachnophobia- is the fear of spiders
Ceraunophobia- is the fear of thunder
Dendrophobia:- the fear of trees
Entomophobia- the fear of insects
Hydrophobia- the fear of water
Insectophobia- the fear of insects. There are so many
bugs out there, that they get two names(see
Entomophobia)
Lachanophobia- the fear of vegetables
Mycophobia- is the fear of mushrooms. Now, many
mushrooms are poisonous, so this fear has some
merit!?!
Ombrophobia- is the fear of rain
Pagophobia- the fear of ice or frost. Gardeners are
justified in having this one.
Panthophobia- is the fear of disease. Not limited to
plant disease.
Parasitophobia- the fear of parasites
Rupophobia- is the fear of dirt
Scoleciphobia- the fear of worms
Seplophobia- the fear of decaying matter- Watch out
for that compost pile!!
