Insects.
Shit, even the sight of bugs gets me creeped out. I can't go within a foot of an ant. Bees are even worse, if I see one nearby I will run to the nearest door and get as much as I can between me and it.
Luckily, that's the only thing I'm really scared of. I'm actually a brave person, normally, leading the herd in haunted houses and other "scary" stuff. I think of it as my only true fear ala Indiana Jones' snake dealeo.

My father found out, much to his amusement, that WD-40 can [I]melt[/I] insect wings, causing all flying insects to fall to the ground where they can be crushed harmlessly underfoot (if you are wearing shoes, that is). As an added bonus, once the propellent starts to run out, the WD-40 can be set on fire, as it burns rather well.
Imagine going after a bee hive, and having waves of bees coming out at you, except they start falling one by one as you spray chemicals on them. Then, as a grand finale, you set the hive on fire.

Holy shit, this would be great to get over this fear.
Wear a bee suit, and go full rambo on a wasp-hive with a can of Raid and some WD-40.
In theory, I like bees, as they are a very essential part of most ecosystems, but I really don't see the purpose of wasps/yellow jackets.

It isnt instant. It takes a few seconds for the chemicals to burn through to render it useless. You still got pissed off wasps coming at you full speed.
I am deathly afraid of getting my blood drawn and a fear of large crowds. But those don't even compare to my fear of heights.
I have Entomophobia.
Every tiny little insect I see that goes into my vicinity freaks me out like a motherfucker.
Say I sit by a desk, and I suddenly see an ant close-by on the desk, or a fly suddenly flies in front of my eyes, I just fly out of my chair.
For example, I was eating at a restaurant with a couple of friends for lunch, and suddenly I saw an ant walking close to my plate, I jetted up from my chair, scared the hell out of some people. and almost made the waitress drop everything she was holding when she passed by.
pools of water that are natural that i cant see the bottom of. creepy shit brushing against my leg... uuhhhh.
heebie jeebies, man.
I am fucking terrified of flying insects. Ever since a fly flew into my eye as a kid I never got over it.

Sounds hillbilly.
Photophobia
I dont know why, but im afraid of ghosts or something paranormal, like unknown sounds or something but i dont understand why,
The only reason i am scared of ghosts is that it can be near and do something very bad to me like in horror movies when u see a ghost girl, she will just get in front of you and scare the fuck out of you, or something so shocking that couldnt be even tought.
I think it came from when i started to watch scary movies at age of 5 or 6 when i saw the movie "EXorcist" . At First i thought it was a funny movie that was fake, but then at the credits it said it was real.
Soo like 9 or 10 years later i came over it, then i saw "Paranormal Activity" as i didnt know it was fake i was so scared that i just couldn't sleep and i had the biggest horrors in my life, like a ghost will come near me and do something bad, like kill.
After the fears got me off, i wanted to watch some scary movies again for unknown reason, soo i seacrhed in youtube scary movies and found Exoricst real story with the sounds that got recorded. I was sacred watching it but i couldnt stop and watched it all. This gave me a scare attack of dieing or being afraid that something is wrong with me, or just could kill me, making me think i will become a ghost or just being left from exsistence.
Soo now im big older and allready realised that it was all fake (exept of Exorcism... idk) from that but im still afraid from ghosts becouse from watching all those vides that are paranormal on news or internet.
Soo i just kept watching "Ghost Adventures" in the middle of day while is sunny and soo i wouldnt have night mares or the frightness of ghosts.
Does someone have this too or is it just me that is crazy?
I have a phobia of anything that has strong links to causing cancer such as prolonged exposure to the sun without any protection. its not a crippling phobia but i just try to avoid it more than a normal person.

just found out its called Carcinophobia
I've developed agoraphobia. The fear is more of having a seizure in these places, so on some level it is rational as seizures usually do tend to occur in these places do to ineffective seizure treatment, yet it is still overall irrational.
I've never really had any phobias.
But once I got a sudden nosebleed when playing Oblivion (:v:) that was so bad it caused me to pass out. Luckily I was face down so I didn't choke on my own blood and the bleeding stopped while I was passed out. I went to see a doctor about it and they told me that my nose was really really dry from inside, due to recent bad flu I had or something. Because of this, I got really nervous every time blood came out of my nose. It lasted for a year or two, now I don't think nosebleeding is that big of a deal.
Needles
Needles man, I fucking hate shots.

I had arachnophobia but not anymore. This song cured it

:love:
I have a penis phobia. Its unbelievable that i share this world with millions of penises breathing the same air as me. Also like when you get in the pool and the water is touching other penises and then your face? Fuckin' gross!
Fuck trypophobia, I generally don't get phased by gory/nasty shit, but trypophobia just makes me cringe all over.
The icthyosaur from Half-Life. It's the only irrational fear I've had. EVERY time I play HL and that thing just beelines toward me with that fucking huhuuhhuhuhuhuh sound, I fall out of my chair. I have to exploit it (ie crouch in tight corners, stay out of the water) to actually get through the level. I have no idea why it's so frightening.
