Autodysomophobia: The Fear of Vile Odors
Autodysomophobia sufferers have a fear of vile odors, which means they’ll freak out if someone has strong body odor. Sufferers will try to avoid having body odor themselves, which causes them to wash excessively. But if they get a whiff of vile odors, they may experience shortness of breath, nausea, sweating and irregular heartbeat.
Aphephobia: The Fear of Touch
Haphephobia is a powerful fear or touching and of being touched by others. So things like kissing, hugging, handshaking, or even a pat in the back is impossible without sending a sufferer into a state of heightened anxiety. Romantic contact of any kind is also completely out of the question for anyone who experiments intense anxiety due to this specific phobia.
