What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
Entomophobia, arachnophobia and ostraconophobia.
So bugs, spiders and seabugs.
The seafood with shells is the worst one but it has gotten better. I didn't even know I had it since I haven't really been exposed to seafood with the shells on until I was at a dinner party and they came out with shrimp cocktails with unshelled shrimp hanging off the sides. I got so anxious and sick at the sight of it I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom and throw up. Now I can almost manage to sit next to someone who has unshelled shrimps. But lobsters and such served in the shell with legs and shit makes me sick.
However.
My phobia is a bit special because since I've had seafood without the shells before I saw them with the shells it doesn't really affect my diet.
Sand fleas aka mole crabs are a no-go?
Had no idea what they were so I had to look it up and now I hate you.
Why would it ever be a yes-go?
Sorry, I didn't show you for that reason. I was just curious how you felt about tiny ones.
