Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder where the person has a debilitating fear of some object or situation that seems totally irrational to most people.

9. Anatidaephobia:

This one starts to peak toward the end of those “April showers.” Just the sight or thought of a flower will send these folks running for the hills.
