Doraphobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of fur or skins of animals. Those with this phobia fear any animal with
fur such as dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits and the list goes on and on. This phobia may be caused by childhood stories
in which animals are portrayed as bad like the big bad wolf in Little Red
Riding Hood.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main
symptom is an excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.
Other phobia symptoms include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat,
sweating, nausea, and an overall feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
