Cibophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of food. Those who suffer from this phobia will rarely
eat food that they do not prepare for themselves and even then they are very
selective about what they will eat. They
become obsessive about expiration dates on food and constantly worry about
unsanitary preparation. They may also
avoid beef and chicken. Cibophobia is
also known as Sitophobia and Sitiophobia.
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.
