Changes: Fructophobia

Latest revision as of 09:31, 1 December 2021

Fructophobia (from fructus, Latin for "fruit") is the fear of fruits. People fear fruits often due to same reasons why people fear vegetables (lachanophobia), like the myth that eating seeds germinates them inside one's body(This myth was supposed to stop kids eating cherry pits, But it became a Phobia.) or getting infested with insects or worms. Sufferers would avoid eating fruits as well as fruit-flavored stuff like candies or soft drinks.

Symptoms of fructophobia include shortness of breath, tremors, weeping, screaming, fainting, increased heart rate, increased body temperature, loss of control, vomiting and urge to flee. Fructophobia is usually treated using behavioral therapy and anti-anxiety medications, but attempting self-help first is recommended.
