hi- i think your site is really funny! my sister has an irrational phobia of sticking plasters or 'band aids' if you're american. she will not touch them and goes mental if she sees one or even hears the word!
Thank you for your website, it was much needed. There are a lot of unidentified phobia's out there. I just wish you wouldn't show a picture of the fears on your website, since I am sure this is uncomfortable for many people. I have a severe fear of band-aids. Just looking at one makes me sick to my stomach. I start to gag severely if I see one on the floor or in a garbage can. I have vomited at the site of seeing someone take a band-aid off themself. I avoid using a band-aid at all costs. Maybe bandiphobia would work?
I am also afraid of band-aids. I thought I was the only one until I read your page. I don’t have them in my house. Tape and gauze is okay….but not band-aids. I once had one on my shoe and I threw my shoe away. Even the trash leftover from a band-aid is disgusting to me. Even worse, on left in the shower or bath by someone else. Ewwwwww. The worst are the skin-colored non-fabric kind. My ultimate fear, finding one in my food.
They're called plasters where I come from too - but whatever they are called they are still as revolting - thankyou for letting me know I am not the only one who suffers in agony when I have a sore bit, as I cant put anything on it - they make me want to vomit!
