<p>I am unable to find a name for it, and I'm not quite phobic of it, but I'm probably close...</p>

<p>woodticks</p>

<p>I can deal with them if I absolutely have to (meaning if I can't swat it off while freaking out, I can usually get it off w/ toilet paper). I think they've only made me cry once, and they haven't stopped me from going outside since I was like 6. Yay! I'm getting better.</p>

10

<p>Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia-Fear of long words
^HAAHAH. NICE.</p>

<p>quite unfortunately, my fear of snails and slugs isnt on there. I guess its molluscaphobia?</p>

11

<p>I think technically woodticks would be arachnophobia, but I don't like saying that because spiders don't bother me at all.</p>

12

<p>Orthophobia- Fear of property.</p>

<p>^^they should just become socialists. sweet.</p>

13

<p>Here are some of mine:
Athazagoraphobia- fear of being forgotten
Catagelophobia- fear of being ridiculed
Ophthalmophobia- fear of being stared at
Tachophobia- fear of speed</p>

14

<p>Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons.</p>

<p>What in the hell is a Walloon? Someone please enlighten me..</p>

15

<p>There a people. Walloon is a romance language, much like french or spanish</p>

16

<p>Automatonophobia- Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues - anything that falsly represents a sentient being.</p>

<p>ahh ^ seriously. </p>

<p>Anthropophobia- Fear of people or society.</p>

<p>i guess i kind of have that too :P</p>

17

<p>I thought there were only 5 Romance languages..where are Walloons from?? haha this interests me..</p>

18

<p>Wallon is French-Belgian. It is not a French dilect, it is French, with very very minor word differences such as "nonante" instead of "quatre vingt dix" for ninety.</p>

<p>Walloonphobia probably refers to the Flemish who dislike their fellow Belgians who are French-speaking.</p>

19

<p>There are 5 MAJOR romance languages, but there are many smaller ones (catalan, asturian, galician for example)</p>

<p>linguistics = love</p>
