Afraid of Vegetables?
2010 January 9
Now I’ve heard it all. A woman was diagnosed with lachanophobia, or a fear of vegetables. I didn’t say that she doesn’t like them … I mean she is flat out afraid of them.
“Every time I would see vegetables not just on my plate, but anywhere I would get feelings of panic, start sweating and my heart rate would shoot up.
“People might think it is a bit of a laughable affliction but I have a genuine fear of greens it’s not just that I dislike the taste of sprouts or broccoli, but the actual sight of them fills me with dread and I could never touch them.”
