Is it normal to be afraid of blueberries?

This does sound very strange, I understand that. I know 2 people now who are afraid of blueberries, they won’t tell me why. Not what about blueberries that scares them, not anything at all. I’ve searched everywhere on the internet, I’ve asked 2 doctors, all came up dry. Is this even real?

    Phobias are, by definition, irrational and/or extreme fears. You cannot necessarily look for rationality behind them.

    • What about ophiophobia, the fear of snakes? Surely there's rationality behind being afraid of snakes, even if some people take it overboard. Sometimes the word phobia is defined as, "an extreme OR irrational fear of or aversion to something".

      Ahhh, semantics.

      Anyway, there may not be a logical reason for why those people are afraid of blueberries, but I think that if you dug deep enough, you'd find a reason.

      Buried trauma stemming from an old memories? The subconscious association of various aspects of the appearance of blueberries with bad things?

        I said "and/or" and "cannot necessarily". How did that not cover that, exactly?

        • I missed the and/or in your first sentence, but nothing changes with the 2nd one. You can look for rationality behind something extreme.

    Could it be allergies instead of fear?

    As a kid, I used to have an irrational fear of slugs.

    I got chills reading this (no sarcasm today). Blueberries have a lot of meaning to me, due to a string of strange coincidences.

    My weird fear is of black lane lines on the bottom of swimming pools. Up close they look harmless but from a distance they look like black holes that something bad could crawl out of. I have been that way since I was a kid and I think it stems from the horror movies my dad let me and my sister watch when we were growing up.

    My brother is afraid of mayonnaise. I guess some people just have that one food that creeps them out.

      Now that's understandable especially if your brother is straight.

          They give me nightmares! One woman at work in high school was VERY attracted to me and I knew it. And so did everyone else. It was painfully obvious but she denied it and turned away all my advances.
