All of us have our share of phobias, whether they’re sharks, snakes, or even butterflies (thanks a lot, Spongebob). However, there are a select few who find the sight of certain foods absolutely terrifying. Here are 7 strange food phobias that you might have without even knowing it… 1. Lachanophobia (luh-can-uh-fo-biah) – Fear of Vegetables Those who have lachanophobia find the sight of any or all vegetables terrifying. Some reasons why you might be lachanophoic are that you are afraid to accidentally swallow a bug while eating the vegetable, or you believe that by ingesting the seeds, a vegetable plant will sprout out of you (think Chuckie on the Rugrats). At least you could save some $$$ on groceries. 2. Ichthyophobia (ick-theo-fo-biah) – Fear of Fish Some people find the sight, smell, and texture of fish to be terrifying. The cause of this phobia can be anything from the strong belief that fish are the cause of many illnesses, to a scarring experience that came with scuba diving. In other words, sushi dates are a no-go. 3. Mycophobia (my-SAH-fo-biah) – Fear or Aversion to Mushrooms Mushrooms don’t necessarily grow in the most appetizing ways. However, if you have mycophobia, it’s not only the way they grow that scares you, but also the chance that you might be poisoned or find yourself in the middle of a psychedelic experience. #trippy 4. Methyphobia (meh-theh-fo-biah) – Fear of Alcohol Being in college, alcohol has become a rather well-used, and at times, abused substance. Methyphobic individuals usually avoid alcohol because of a traumatic experience that involved booze, or because they just find the smell and taste to be absolutely disgusting (#tequila). Basically, just skip the wine and go straight to dine. 5. Consecotaleophobia (con-sec-oh-tay-leo-fo-bia) – Fear of Chopsticks That’s right. Consecotaleophobia is the fear of chopsticks, whether your reason is that you are afraid to drop food all over yourself, poke your eye out, or embarrass yourself by showing how unskilled you are. Again, sushi dates are not an option. 6. Deipnophobia (dehp-no-fo-bia) – Fear of Dinner Parties, Dining with Others and Dinner Conversations Eating alone isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, those who are deipnophobic would prefer to eat by themselves because they fear that awkward dining table small talk. On the bright side, at least you don’t have to constantly be asked about how your day went. 7. Cibophobia (see-boh-fo-bia) – Fear of Food/Eating Having cibophobia can mean that you are afraid of food because of a scarring experience with food poisoning, too many food allergies, or you find food in general to be disgusting. If you have cibophobia, this website might as well be the next Saw movie. source:https://www.yahoo.com/food/7-strange-food-phobias-you-might-have-without-even-011958209.html |

Rosemary216: Methyphobia is okay. It's not that rare. I have never craved for alcohol all my life and it still seems odd to friends and family 'cause it's not for religious or health reasons. I just do not crave for it. Hopefully, my future wife would also completely abstain from alcohol. I DISLIKE WOMEN WHO DRINK. ♦ |

iamkingzlee:You, a fellow Akwaibomite, is scared of VEGETABLES? Our meals are predominantly leafy. Afang, edikaikong, editan, ekpang... How do you cope? Scratch that - what sort of phobia would make you abstain from the best soup in the world, afang? ♦ |

Maybe methyphobia..... I wonder why the prefix is "methy" it should be something like "hydroxyl"phobia..... Cause of the -OH functional group. |
