xylophobia
What is Xylophobia?
Xylophobia is the fear of wooden objects and/or forests. The origin of the word xylo is Greek (meaning wood) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). Xylophobia is considered to be a specific phobia, which is discussed on the home page. Xylophobia is also related to Dendrophobia (fear of trees), Hylophobia (fear of forests), and Nyctohylophobia (fear of dark wooded areas or of forests at night).
What are the causes?
It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias. (Wikipedia - phobia).
What are the symptoms?
As with any phobia, the symptoms vary by person depending on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking.

zemmiphobia
Zemmiphobia is defined as fear of the mole rat.
The Mole Rat is a species of naked rats that look and behave like moles. They are native to elements of Africa and have large, protruding entrance teeth that they use to dig tunnels. Mole rats reside underground in colonies of eighty to 300 rats. Within every colony, there is one breeding feminine and three to four breeding males. All different rats are workers or soldiers.
Zemmiphobia is a slightly unusual and relatively unknown phobia. However, for the person suffering from this phobia, the worry is actual and immobilizing.
What Causes Zemmiphobia?
Usually the person suffering from zemmiphobia has experienced a traumatic event with rates or moles. This would naturally link rats and moles as a danger to themselves. Alternatively zemmiphobia could be brought on by the odd look of this creature. This mole/rat has beady eyes, no hair, large teeth, and is blind.
