Radiophobia and phobias!

Home More advice Science

Would anyone please let me know if they suffer from Radiophobia? :-) It would help me, because I have this, and have not met anyone else who has this fear/phobia.

Radiophobia is an abnormal fear of ionizing radiation, also used in the sense of fear of X-rays. The term is also used (polemically, not medically) to general opposition to the use of nuclear energy.

In my case, it's viewing x-ray pictures. This is a very irrational fear, and I know it myself!
