List of phobias
List of fear of different things or objects

The English suffixes -phobia, -phobic, and -phobe derive from the Greek phobos (fear) and are used in fields like psychiatry to describe irrational or disabling fears (e.g., agoraphobia), in chemistry for chemical aversions (e.g., hydrophobic), and in biology for organisms avoiding conditions (e.g., acidophobia). Common usage also includes dislike or hatred terms like homophobia. The suffix is antonymic to -phil-, as seen in Germanophile versus Germanophobe. For psychiatric classifications and examples, see phobia. While many phobia lists exist online, caution is advised due to content spamming practices distorting accurate information. An 1897 American Journal of Psychology article criticized overly complex Greek-derived phobia names, like triakaidekaphobia (fear of 13).

Psychological conditions

Specialists may prefer to avoid the suffix -phobia and use more descriptive terms such as personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and avoidant personality disorder. Terms should strictly have a Greek prefix, although many are irregularly formed with Latin or even English prefixes. Many use inaccurate or imprecise prefixes, such as aerophobia (fear of air) for fear of flying.

Onions contain varying amounts of disulfide and SMCO toxins, depending on the species of onion, time of year, and growing conditions. Storing onions in large piles also provides a suitable environment for contamination of the crop with other toxins, such as mycotoxins, which could contribute to the disease process. /wiki/Allium#Toxicity

  23. Schwab G (Winter 2021). "Trees, Fungi, and Humans: A Transspecies Story". CR: The New Centennial Review. 21 (3). Michigan State University Press: 245–267. Years ago, I had a terrifying nightmare. I was back in Konstanz, my German hometown, walking in a beautiful forest adjacent to the lake. Suddenly, the giant trees surrounding me ripped their roots out of the earth and began to run after me, chasing me all the way out of the forest. I ran and ran, fearing for my life. Later I learned that my dream had its roots in an ancient phobia of trees called dendrophobia, a primordial terror linked to a sense that trees are more alive than we think. For those suffering from dendrophobia, trees have a paradoxical mobility that enables them to use their roots to grab humans or even kill them by willfully dropping their branches on them. Dendrophobia, an officially recognized mental illness that may in extreme cases lead to institutionalization, is linked to trees being recognized not simply as living beings but rather as hostile ones, intent on inflicting harm on humans or even killing them. https://muse.jhu.edu/article/856154
