Trichinophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of trichinosis.
Trichininosis is a disease caused by parasites known as trichinella
spiralis or the roundworm. It infects
and damages body tissues and is obtained by eating raw or undercooked meat from
animals that are infected by the parasite.
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.
