Koniophobia

Koniophobia, or amathophobia, is the fear of dust. The presence of dust and the presence of s in it are primary triggers of koniophobia. Koniophobia is also sometimes triggered from something very unrelated to dust, such as a stressful event.

Since many dust come from outdoors, sufferers would rarely go outside of home while dusting frequently. A sufferer may want to own an air filter to slow the buildup of dust. Koniophobia can be treated by telling sufferers that is everywhere: in the air, ground, objects, living things, and even in outer space.
