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.

Ok, that would be horrible! That person would smell really really really bad!! :(
Ahh the first phobia would be icky! I shower atleast 2 times a day, so thinking about someone who never showers corrupts my mind. :(
As for the second phobia, my mom kind of has it. She will only go in to shallow water, and barely does that. She never learned how to swim, and she got pushed into the deep end of a pool by some guys who didn't believe she couldn't swim. She freaked out and could have drowned, thank God they jumped in and took her out! I don't think she will ever forgive any of them for that. I know I wouldn't.
I guess hydrophobia makes sense if there was a traumatic event, but what could make you scared to bathe? Interesting.
