		<description><![CDATA[Whether it&#8217;s Greek gods, Hindu gods or the god of Christianity there are several deity from which to choose. Some have special powers they use in connection with other gods who exercise other powers. There are people who believe it is possible to one day become a god based on how they have lived and what they believe. Those who fear gods are said to have Theophobia. 
In many religions the role of a god is designed to help inspire confidence in protection, hope in better times to come and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The heat from the sun provides a replenishment of vitamin D. The heat from a cook stove adds unique texture and flavor to blended foods. The heat from a fire can warm a home, and the warmth from a car&#8217;s heater can allow occupants to stay comfortable even on the coldest days. Yet for every benefit expressed by the presence of heat there are those who fear it. When the fear becomes profound it is known as Thermophobia. 
As essential as heat is to the successful application of living there ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Theology is described by Wikipedia as, &#8220;The study of a god or, more generally the study of religious faith, practice, and experience, or of spirituality.&#8221; Many men and women make this study a priority for their lives and often their vocation. Others will have nothing to do with theology stating either indifference of a pronouncement of complete atheism. For those who fear the study of a god they may struggle with Theologicophobia. 
The act of studying theology is in fact a pronouncement of faith in something bigger than the person ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those who review movies spend lots of time in the theater. Millions will race to theaters this weekend to take in the latest flick. The cinema provides a unique lens on life or perhaps shows things as they might be. They provide new worlds of science fiction and dig into psychology as a framework for thrillers. No matter how enthusiastic you might be to watch a new movie in a theater there are those who would never enter the front door. Those who fear theaters are said to suffer with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting story popped up recently on DailyMail.co.uk. The author, Anne Diamond, asserts that there is a phobia within the entertainment business against women who may wish to work on screen while pregnant. Stay tuned for the evidence. 
Being a male writer, yet having children of my own I love to recall the anticipation my wife and I experienced during her pregnancy. I loved feeling the kick of my children and knowing the new life was growing closer to a debut on life&#8217;s stage. This unique and personal experience does ...]]></description>

Avid fishermen come for the trophies and deal with sea sickness. Those who avoid the sea altogether may suffer from Thalassophobia. 
I have spent time crabbing off a pier in Oregon. I&#8217;ve hauled in salmon aboard a fishing boat on the Pacific and I&#8217;ve fed sea gulls as they pierced the air with their cries. While I loved every minute of my ...]]></description>

I like to think of being able to spend downtime simply relaxing with no set agenda and no pressing engagements. However, there are some who would not consider this anything remotely enjoyable. Those who fear sitting or being idle are said to have Thaasophobia. 
It may be confusing for some because this particular fear can actually cause the phobic personality to appear as if they have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) ...]]></description>

However, there are fabrics that elicit a completely different reaction. One touch of this fabric can cause profound fear. This condition is known as Textophobia. 
This experience may not be significantly different from that of food. There may be textures of food that cause either a gag reflex or perhaps even vomiting. In the case of both food and fabric you will avoid the ...]]></description>

This fear can be linked to the German language, the heritage it represents or even recipes or objects that are specific to the German culture.
What Causes Teutophobia?
Let&#8217;s start with events that are not based on personal experience. It is possible to look at the history of any culture and find events that ...]]></description>

However, Chinese doctors are reporting a phenomenon that they can only describe as HIV fear. 
There may be no official name for this disorder, but physicians in China report a growing number of individuals who are seeking answers to their condition.
