Except the well-known claustrophobia or acrophobia, there are some fears we never suspected that they exist. While some of them everybody might have (like the nucleomituphobia, fear of nuclear weapons; or liticaphobia, fear of lawsuits), others are just ridiculuos to have (like gymnophobia, fear of… nudity :P ). Also read this interesting article on how to know your fear and fight against it.

  • Ablutophobia – Fear of washing or bathing
  • Dendrophobia – Fear of trees
