Scoliodentosaurophobia

Let me ease it out for all those who are still configuring what the title is all about, Scoliodentosaurophobia is the phobia of lizards. To be more precise it’s an extreme fear of lizards in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding it despite the fear, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. 

Hey, what are you thinking? Does Rachit suffer from some weird spell phobia? 

It’s hard to accept the truth but even harder to hide (being a blogger), so before we move further into the post I must confess before the world of blogosphere that yeah I suffer from this strange Scoliodentosaurophobia. And, please don’t simper around. 

Whenever I see a lizard I just tremble, sweat excessively and get intense anxiety attack. I don’t fear of snakes or other reptiles but when it comes to lizards I freeze around. I know their zoological importance as devoid of lizards the population of insects will increase manifold without any checks and will create a severe problem. Yet, I can’t stand their presence. 

It’s a surprise for me when I found few species of lizards like Savannah Monitor, the blue tongued skink, etc. can be tamed and kept as pet. And people, I’m not the only one who suffers from the fear of lizards; a survey predicted that around 250,000 people in America suffer from Scoliodentosaurophobia alone.

 

Meanwhile, I’m into a new arena of entrepreneurship with my first start-up News Not Making News aka N2MN.  It’s just been a week since its inception and so quite hard to predict where it all will lead yet the joy of seeing your raw idea furnishing into a reality is immense.
