Acrarophobia - Fear of Itching / Fear of Insects Ok. So to start off, I had thought that Acarophobia seemed pretty silly, but then I found out that it was more than the fear of itching, but that it is actually particularly devastating in the way that the body is impacted.———————— WORD FACTS: Acarophobia is derived from the Latin root, Acaro , which means “mites” and for an obvious reason when you consider the insect side of the phobia. ———————————————————————————————————————— SCIENCE: The fear of insects is largely a disgust responce to their shapes and colors. However, most of what causes an overactive hippocampus responce to the natural fear of insects that is caused by nothing other than, wait for it... evolution.

Agliophobia - the fear of pain Me (to me in my head): Do I really need to explain this one? Me (I’ll call that first “Me” Me1 and this one Me2): Yes. Me1: Why?

Similar to how amaxophobia has different phobia words that mean the same thing, agliophobia has the following synonyms: Odynophobia, Odynephobia, and Od...
Agyrophobia - the fear of crossing the street. ————————————————————————— WORD HISTORY: Agyrophobia, othwise known as Dromophobia, is the fear of crossing streets. Agyrophobia is derived from Phobos, the Greek god of fear and the Greek word for street, Agyro . Dromophobia is also derived from Phobos (all phobias are derived from him, so lets just take him for granted now), and from the the Greek word Dromo , or racecourse. ————————————————————————— A person with Agyrophobia has the incessant fear that if they cross a street, there will be harm done to them, whether by a car or by some other means. ————————————————————————— SYMPTOMS: The most common symptoms of Agyrophobia are: • Feelings of dread when presented with a situation or the thought of crossing road or intersection. •Automatic or uncontrollable muscle movements in responce to their fear. Most likely something of a fight or flight responce. • Rapid Heartbeat • Shortness of Breath • Trembling and Shaking • Extre...
