Scatophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of fecal matter.
Fecal matter is completely gross for one thing, but it also contains a
lot of bacteria, germs and things we really don’t need to come in contact with
and these are just some of the reasons some people have Scatophobia.
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.
