All of these phobic responses are basically a response mechanism. An attempt to protect the organism, even if the protection is not beneficial or hurtful.
These are just the top (again, according to scientific studies which again are fallible) phobias. We will discuss more in future blog posts and examine the strangest, most bizarre phobias: Like a fear of Santa Claus, peanut butter or nose hair.
