Here's a quick word for you: trypanophobia. Ever heard of it? I bet you know someone with it. Trypanophobia is the extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles. However, if you look in a medical dictionary, it's unlikely you will find it. You will more likely find "needle phobia". It's been reported that about 10% of the population has this phobia, but it's much more common in children in the ages of 5-16.
Bet you didn't know that!
