Melissa Mercier: Levophobia- Fear of things to the left side of the body
December 5, 2011 by Manfrotto
Filed under Experience
A music box should represent comfort, security, hope and dreams, but if you suffer from dextrophobia and it’s placed on the left side of your body even this innocent children’s toy becomes unbearable. People who suffer from this phobia fear anything placed on their left side. Odd, but true. I find this phobia very unusual. [...]

I’ve never been a person afraid of animals, but I must admit that I felt a little uneasy standing just a few feet away from so many cows. My tiny stature seemed quite inadequate next to such large creatures, but they didn’t seem to care about me at all. I had been looking for the [...]
Melissa Mercier: Felinophobia- Fear of Cats.

It is also called Ailurophobia, Elurophobia, Galeophobia or Gatophobia. It seems there are a lot of names for the fear of cats, I guess many people suffer from this phobia. I personally adore cats. Their agility and their independence astonish me. They can transform so quickly from confident predator to cuddling and purring furball which [...]
