Whats your phobia?

Soooo, I have this phobia called lastihophobia, which is the fear of elastic bands and balloons.
It's not so much the elastic bands or balloons themselves, but the fact that they can snap or pop, which'll then hit me in the face or something... And whenever I have to tie something up with an elastic band, I cringe and try to hold the band as far away as I can. The same goes if someone close is playing around with one, I just want to stand 10 metres away from them...

So does anyone else have a weird phobia, or just any phobia? And I don't mean being afraid of the dark unless you're genuinely so scared that you break out into cold sweats etc...

Heights. I can't look over railings at malls. Or couldn't. I kinda can now, but it still always creeps me out a bit.

Scared of getting my nose sliced horizontally with a thin, sharp object.

Needles. More specifically those medical ones. I go into shock when I see them after about 2 minutes and I pass out completely. Pretty sure that qualifies as a phobia. I avoid them at all costs. I work at an animal clinic though. I have passed out before. Busted my head wide open, and when I got up I had no idea where I was. Needles and me dont go well.

I have honondasdontiaphobia, or the fear of losing a permanent tooth. I am terrified if a small/medium sized object it thrown at my face, tripping and landing on a rock that could knock a tooth out, or when people swing there jackets. Thus is because when I was very young (9?) a classmate of mine swung her jacket and sliced a tooth of mine in half. Luckily I had it bonded right away so that it is almost as solid as it was prior. One of the reasons I've persuade to become an orthodontist

Fear of manmade underwater objects. Fear of spines (backbones). Fear of needles. Fear of not touching the ground. Fear of surgery.
Amusing thread, thanks

Spiders.

Also, I think I might have a phobia of fire. o.o

I get scared even when I just have to turn on the flame on the stove...

I'm afraid that it'll cause an explosion and burn down my house and kill my family.

I absolutely hate bugs and insects. I'll do anything to stay away from them.
When I see a spider or a ladybug, I'll freak out and immediately find someone to get rid of it. o.o
Yes, I'm terrified of butterflies.. I run super far away from them.
Not sure if this counts as a phobia though.
I also hate the thought of surgery.. and I have to take my wisdom teeth out this summer. (I have all 4, and I'm already sweating with anxiety and what-not.)

I'm also terrified of heights. Really, really, terrified.
Oh, I also hate anything with lots of circles.. like.. foam. It just makes me a little insane. They're like.. eyes.

I think I might have a minor case of claustrophobia. I tend to sweat, get nervous, and the room becomes very stuffy to me. I absolutely hate when that happens so I even miss some buses to school (local buses) in order to avoid the more crowded ones. Also if it's for long periods of time I tend to start pushing people away from me if they're too close since the discomfort starts to become somewhat unbearable. Nothing life-threatening though like the people who can't breathe at all even when they enter an elevator.

Arachnophobia. I will run away screaming and possible huddle in a corner (Actually have done this before) Even for a little house spider. The fact of 8 legs and 8 eyes makes me cry (Im 15)

Also, like @oOCielOo, losing the ones I care about. I dont know what I would do.

I have a fear of nausea & vomiting (ematophobia), wasps, being stuck in tight spaces and being alone when sick. Also losing people I care about.. and amongst other things. And these aren't simple fears.. actual phobias.

I'm scared of looking at spinal cords that are pulled out or raw. It just brings shivers.
