Fear.

I wanted to find out if there was an official phobia for my fear of flying insects and I chanced upon something interesting. I was googling for it and one of the results that appeared was this.

I don't know how this became the best answer until I saw the second of only two responses.

"buy a cd with bug sounds lay on your floor have a friend get a feather close your eyes and turn on the cd have your friend tickle u with a feather and imagine your in a fiels suronded by bugs try it be optimistic" (Exact quote, too lazy to print screen.)

HUH? I can safely assume there is no cure for my fear of flying insects.

More about this phobia of mine, I don't understand why I should tolerate and appreciate flying insects when most of them are extremely hateful creatures. They hover around you and makes you swat the air like an idiot.

Also, they like to fly straight at your face which I can never understand why. Once, an insect flew straight into the throat of my friend when he was talking, he had no choice but to swallow it. (True story.)

Most hateful creature is the golden beetle that hovers around the lights and thus making a very irritating sound. My friends told me that it is called a "kim ku". They have weird hairy legs that give you a shock when it lands on your shoulders. Other notable contenders are bees and wasps.

Another result that showed was a phobia list site and that is where I stumbled on some interesting trivia. (Sorry if you have these phobias. I don't mean to offend.)

"Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth."
They have a name for a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth but not a name for fear of flying insects? That's just weird.

"Caligynephobia- Fear of beautiful women."
Seriously?

"Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words."
What an irony!

"Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia- Fear of money."
Come and be my friend!
