Aurophobia: The Fear of Gold


Aurophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of gold.  Those who suffer from this phobia have an intense and irrational dislike of gold.
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.
