I just found out recently that the right term for my fear of worms is no other than Scoleciphobia.
Scoleciphobia, Helminthophobia, Vermiphobia- is the fear of worms, especially parasitic worms. The sight of worm, or anything that looks like worm may cause someone with this phobia to have extreme anxiety and panic attacks.
I used to call it Wormaphobia. Haha silly me! Why do I always make up words? Can't even remember all of them anymore. Moving on, I think I need to seek professional help. What do you guys think? I know some of you, just like any other people, would say that I'm just over reacting or I just want attention but NO. This is serious. I really am afraid of worms. Just the mere thought of them sends shiver down my spine. I can't stomach them. I just can't. I also remember telling my mom that if I die, I want to be cremated because I don't want those creepy worms to eat me! I hate everything (foods not included ;)) that resembles worms. Maggots, snake, leech, caterpillars, eels, ascaris, you name it. I'm fine with them as long as they're worlds apart from me AND as long as they keep out from our house. They make me so damn paranoid all the time! The thought of them living inside my body is just horrifying. I'd rather die than be a host for those parasitic worms.
That's all. Haha another self-centered and nonsense post. Mwaah
Jaa~
