Chiroptophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of bats. The most common cause of this phobia are
negative experiences involving bats such as being bit by one, especially if it
has rabies. Chiroptophobia is also
associated with the dangers and fears of darkness and misinformation about
bats.
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,

Phobias are the most common form of anxiety disorders.
