Aichmophobia

/ˌeɪk.moʊˈfoʊ.bi.ə/ noun

Definition

An extreme fear of sharp or pointed objects like needles, pins, or knives.

Etymology

From Greek 'aichme' (spearpoint or sharp object) + 'phobos' (fear); the root 'aichme' originally referred to the sharp tip of a spear used in ancient warfare.

Kelly Says

This phobia is more common than you'd think, and it actually makes evolutionary sense—our ancestors who were cautious around sharp objects lived longer and passed on that fear response.
