Phobias!

Another oldie for a new generation. What phobias do you have?

Mine are Baked beans (I can't stand even looking at them!) and spiders

Well who would have guessed you could have a phobia about baked beans, but now I come to think of it I have a lactose intolerance and cannot bear to touch or smell cheese.

I get vertigo if I look down from any height - don't even like looking at aerial photographs, but OK looking out of an aeroplane - weird (maybe because I don't look straight down!.

I also cannot stand the smell of smoke from fires (I was lucky enough to escape from a burning building many, many years ago, then a raging fire swept through our farm - don't even like the smell from braai's (barbeques to non-south africans)

Maggots - I have a real fear of them and yet, of course they are successfully used in medicine. 

Hair. Yes, hair.

And the dentist, death and heights!!

I have full blown phobia of people in masks, or face paint. Anyone in full costume where their face is covered or changed.  I literally break out into a cold sweat, feel sick to my stomach and I feel faint.

Of course I don't like spiders.

I used to have a phobia of Hares, not rabbits but Hares. Same symptoms as above, but luckily you don't see a Hare every day. I can actually look at a picture of a hare now and not get sick to my stomach. I believe it's Jason who has an awesome Hare picture here on POE.

Don't like looking up or down lift/elevator shafts; I even have nightmares about them. I guess spiders and snakes need some better PR management.

A bride I recently photographed adorned herself with a 5  foot King snake. I wouldn't think many brides would do that-----but he was friendly ! 

I am scared of spiders,reptiles and dont like cats.

I am scared of heights too . 

I just Hate sleeping alone in a room in the darkness! I see ghosts everywhere!
