7Trypanophobia
Trypanophobia is a condition when people feel afraid of injections and often try to avoid doctors or medical treatments. Like other phobias, it usually goes untreated since people tend to stay away from the triggering situation and object. It is estimated that around 1 out of 10 people is affected by this illness. When these people have to deal with an injection, they might experience an increased heart rate or feeling of extreme fright resulting in the procedure. Some of them even pass out after the injection. Since those symptoms could be distressing, they will try to avoid dentists, doctors, and other medical experts, even when they have physical ailments which need attention. [7]
