Interesting!!

OK, so after my post yesterday I looked up to see if there was actually a phobia for chalk?? I didn't come across an actually name for it but there has to be one because there are so many crazy ones...well at least as crazy as mine is. I stumbled on this website listing funny phobias so I decided to list a few from each letter of the alphabet:


Acerophobia
Fear of sourness

Alliumphobia
Fear of garlic (how bland food would be)

Anthrophobia or Anthophobia
Fear of flowers


Barophobia
Fear of gravity (really?)


Bromidrosiphobia or Bromidrophobia
Fear of body smells (this one is funny)


Cacophobia
Fear of ugliness


Dutchphobia
Fear of the Dutch
