I was browsing the internet and came across this very interesting site about phobias.
http://www.hypnotherapykettering.co.uk/Pages/Phobia%20Description.htm#C
It has a complete alphabetical list of descriptions of different fears and the correct name for the phobia. Some amusing phobias include:
1: fear of Peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth- Arachibutyrophobia.
2: fear of being Tickled by feathers or feathers- Pteronophobia.
3: fear of Washing- Ablutophobia. I think my Oscar has this one!
4: fear of Knees- Genuphobia.
However, I do hope that nobody who reads my site has Aclurophobia, also known as Ailurophobia, Elurophobia, Felinophobia, Galeophobia, or Gatophobia. Fear of cats.
Please have a look at the site and let me know A what you think and B which phobia you have.

Lepraphobia (fear of leprosy)
but most of all its my
Ligyrophobia that gets me everytime!
Hello Paddy. I have Foamringoshooterphobia. I am a little scared of this space shooter that mummy has. I like to chase the foam rings but when Daddy comes round he likes to shoot me with it and it makes a noise. Mummy suggests I have laurentiophobia. Apparently she also suffers from that as well. Mummy says she misses you and your mummy.
