Fear of snakes – what is it?

Ophidiophobia is a pathological fear of snakes, one of the specific phobias.

Ophidiophobia is associated with herpetophobia, the fear of reptiles and/or amphibians.

It makes sense to distinguish people who simply do not like snakes, are afraid of their poisonous sting or being suffocated by them. A person diagnosed with ophidiophobia will feel fear not only when seeing snakes in real life, but also when thinking about them, seeing them on TV or looking at pictures.

Fear of spiders – what is it?

Arachnophobia - a phobia manifested by the fear of spiders, it is one of the most common phobias.

People with arachnophobia usually experience anxiety and fear when they see a spider, nausea, sweating, dizziness, and increased heart rate may also occur. If this phobia causes difficulties in life, it is necessary to consult a psychologist or psychotherapist.

Is the fear of snakes innate?

• Yes, for some, there is no greater horror than seeing one of these slippery reptiles making its way along the ground. Known as ophidiophobia, this fear is somewhat irrational since most snakes are completely harmless. Recent studies show that babies have an innate fear of snakes, meaning that ophidiophobia is a result of nature, not nurture. Despite the mostly harmless nature of snakes, this fear can be a survival instinct that binds people tightly together.
