WISE~~~~~~ Just kidding, in all seriousness.
Belonephobia is defined as the fear of sharp objects.
Nedlephobia is the fear of needles, and believe it or not I know a lot of doctors and nurses that have these phobias.
Just last month I was having lunch with a Doctor colleague who shared that as a medical student he would go to the restroom and vomit when ever he had to give a shot... Hahaha! pretty crazy huh
yea- OUCH! and the fear of it. i have a few and they are not for the fragile of humans.
