Fear of Bananas - Bananaphobia
Filed under Bananas | Comments (15)
Even though bananas are the third most popular fruit in the world, there are some who are afraid of them.
Fear of bananas is called bananaphobia and it is more common than you might think. Just search Google for "fear of bananas" and you'll see what I mean.
People with bananaphobia are often repulsed by the sight of bananas, cannot stand the texture or smell of bananas, and cannot be in the same room with bananas.
Bananas literally drive them bananas.
If you are afraid of bananas, don't tell anyone because people will mercilessly tease you to the end of your days. People just can't help thinking that a fear of bananas is hilarious. One Kent State student, who says bananas "scare the hell" out of him, learned that the hard way.
I have the same fear. I hate bananas... the smell, texture, taste... it gives me the heebie jeepies! I feel awful because I have 2 little boys and they love bananas.
I am glad there is someone else out there!
So glad I'm not the only person that has this problem,if I was offered a million pounds to pick up a banana I still wouldn't do it.
Hi

I'm not alone!!!!!!
people are horrible when it comes to fear of bananas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i google serched fear of bananas because i was scared i was the only person to be so weird; but im not:)
the other day i passed my birthday, and one of my friennndddsss happened to have a banana in her bag; so when i was busy she decided to play a nasty trick on me;;
on discovering the banana in the bag of my new jeans; not only did i let out a little scream, drop the bag and start crying but i also wont wear my jeans untill they have been washed;;; more then once.
what do u think having a fear of bananas means:? (apart from being slightly crazy)
i wish no one ever found out about my banana prob!
wooooooow! i hate bananas!!!!! i didnt realize its an actual phobia thats great!!!!! i cannot stand the sight, texture, or smell of them!!!! glad its just not me!
its not an irrational fear, its totally rational. bananas are evil and disgusting. i only found this because i googled it to find the proper name cos my mates down the pub don't believe its a real phobia. i can't bear them (bananas not my mates)
Bananas are okay as long as they're not peeled; when they're peeled I have to get away from them. My sister likes to peel her banana and chase after me with it, because she likes to hear me scream. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a fear of bananas.

I get slightly nervous around nectarines ... now I feel in good company :O)
I have this fear. Not that I can't be in a room with a banana, but it makes me uncomfortable. Anyone who just ate a banana has to wash their hands. I can't stand the smell, and will freak out if someone comes near me with one.
I recognize it's crazy, but I can't help it!
