Pyrexiophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of fever. This phobia can be caused by witnessing
or knowing someone who was sick with a fever and died or having a serious
illness in the past. Pyrexiophobia is
also known as Febriphobia.
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.
