Autodysomophobia is
the abnormal and persistent fear of one that has a vile odor. Those who suffer from this phobia will avoid
confined places like subways where they may encounter people who smell
bad. They may also wash excessively and
avoid social situations because they fear they smell bad.
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.
