Belonephobia
Belonephobia is the fear of pins and needles. This is not refering to needles that they give you shots with, It is refering to needles that you would sew with. This could lead to passing out, or vomiting. This is one of the least curable phobias. Trypanophobia is the fear of needles or injections.This is referring more toward shots. This is a pretty common phobia, this could make things such as donating blood, getting blood drawn, or even getting required shots very difficult. It is estimated that about 10% of humans are scared of needles or have a phobia of getting a shot, thisd statistic may be slightly low because not everyone reports such a small thing to a hospital. There are alot of famous people who are pretty well known that are scared of needles such as Snoop Dogg and Alice Cooper. The fear of needles is also a main theme in Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I did not realise that untili watched a little it closer but Ed is very scared of needles, as are almost every other character in that show.

Fears(:
Domatophobia is the fear of houses or being in a house which means you may have to sleep in a tent or another option. This can be treated by slowly being reintroduced to a house or place of residency. Disposophobia is the fear of throwing stuff out which may lead to hoarding. Hoarding is something that is curable but will take a lot of work and you have to want to change. Having a house which you lived in while hoarding will lead to domatophobia. If you have ever seen the show Hoarders Buried Alive. It will give you a better over view on how hard it may be for people to give up there stuff or let go of things. if you have disposophobia you do not want to give up anything, even things that are rotten or garbage. This may lead to a persons life being ruined by living in filth. They may also experience health problems.
Nostophobia is the fear of returning home from things such as vacation. Some people just get to excited beign gone and have a phobia of coming home. I can't blame them if they went somewhere nice and are coming back to Belle Fourche.

Lots of Fears!
Amychophobia is the fear of scratches or being scratched. This can be from animals, humans or just bumping your arm wrong. Depending on how serious our phobia is this can be a very large burden on your life. Epistaxiophobia is the fear of nosebleeds which can be caused by heat or getting punched in the face. This would be really scary if someone wanted to fight you, you would probably have a heart attack before the fight even happened. Having a fear of nosebleeds may make you also have a fear of heat.
Hematophobia is the fear of blood. Which would be very bad if you had a fear of nosebleeds and blood. Odynephobia is the fear of pain. This can be pain caused by anything including fights, running into walls, or anything else that causes pain. I can't imagine being afraid of pain. I do not like pain but the thought of actually being scared of pain doesn't even seem realistic. All these can be fixed with couciling and work.

666. A scary number?
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of the number 666. This is a very common fear and can be feared religiously or by superstition. The number 666 is usually used in scary movies or to freak people out. Some signs of this fear are if a grocery total is $6.66, you may feel compelled to add or subtract an item. You may block channel 666 from your cable listings or drive around your neighborhood to change your odometer reading from 666 to 667. If it appears often even by covincidense you may feel like its a sign, which may scare you even more. This number is thought to be the number of the beast or Satan. This number could be very scary to some people. Numerophobia is the fear of numbers. This is all numbers in general. But this would make math very difficult and even things such as grocery shopping or even reading.

Cryophobia(:
Cryophobia is the fear of extreme cold, ice or frost. Another name for this is frigophobia. I sure hope the people who live in South Dakota don't have this fear because it can get pretty cold here. Pagophobia is another word for the fear of ice or frost. This seems to be a phobia that has a lot of different names or ways to refer to it. Pluviophobia is the fear of rain or of being rained on, this year we haven't had a lot of rain but this would be a very hard phobia to live with because the weather kind of does what it wants and i don't know of many places except the desert were it does not snow or rain.

Ha...this one is pretty funny..
Ephebiphobia is the fear of teenagers. This could be a problem depending on what your career was, most careers have something to do with teenagers. I work at Dairy Queen so I see teenagers every night. If you were a teacher this would expecially be a problem. I was trying to find a fear of teachers but I found out there is no scientific name for the fear of teachers. I bet some people do have a fear of teachers though. Sometimes school makes you feel a little dead inside and since I already did the fear of school i will do the fear of dying. Necrophobia is the fear of things associated with death such as coffins and graveyards. This can also be the fear of dying. Now, when your dying...you may have to go to the hospital. Some people have a fear of hospitals. Nosocomephobia is the fear of hospitals.
In conclusion, if you are scared of teachers when you go to the classroom you might want to die but be scared to. Then, when you go to the hospital you will be too scared and end up dying anyway.

Imagine this!
Ablutophobia is the fear of washing or bathing, this would probably be one of the worst phoias i could imagine. Most of us shower everyday so its crazy to believe that some people are scared of showering or washing themselves. This is very uncommon but also very serious. This event can be caused by a tramatic past event that happened to you or a family member. This phobia is very socially unexceptable because society now thinks you should shower. You can get on medication but social interaction may also help.
Hydrophobia is the fear of water. This also includes a fear of getting in a boat or learning to swim. Hydrophobia is usually caused by seeing a friend almost drown or almost drowning yourself. I seriously tink i may be afraid of water to an extent. If someone who had this phobia was to fall in water they may kill themselves just from struggling so much. This can also be treated with some medications and slow steps toward water. This is a frustrating phobia because water is almost always near you in some way.
