Taurophobia: The Fear of Bulls

Taurophobia is the irrational and persistent fear of bulls.  Some people are willing to run with the bulls, while others are deathly afraid of them.  I don’t quite think I have this phobia, but you’re not going to catch me anywhere near one either.

Taurophobia may be brought on by a traumatic event that involves a bull such as an attack or unexpected close encounter.  Some people say that they never knew they had this phobia until the very first time they saw a bull.  A bull’s intimidating size may have a lot to do with this phobia.

Tapinophobia is the irrational and persistent fear of being contagious.  Those who suffer from this phobia will do everything they can do to prevent getting sick.  They will eat the healthiest foods and may even take supplements to ensure that they stay healthy.

Tapinophobics are often thought of as very courteous people because they do so much to prevent getting others sick.  They will isolate themselves if they are sick and they will take whatever other precautions that are necessary.  While they may be protecting others though, this creates debilitating effects on their own lives.  Their whole lives become centered on disease prevention.  Eventually there’s no room for anything else.

Ranidaphobia: The Fear of Frogs

Ranidaphobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of frogs.  I can understand this one,  but I definitely don't have it.  I have a huge fascination with frogs.  Ceramic ones and yes, even real ones.  I will run outside after it rains and try to catch one.  I know a lot of people who collect clowns and it makes me cringe, but I collect frogs so now I know that there's someone out there who would cringe at the thought of that.
