Ophidiophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of snakes.
This is a relatively common phobia that can have a significant impact on
the quality of life. The most common cause of Ophidiophobia is a traumatic
encounter with a snake. This phobia is
also known as Snakephobia. Ophidiophobia
is closely related to Herpetophobia, the fear of reptiles or creepy crawly
things.
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.
