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.
