Detailed explanation-1: -A phobia is an overwhelming and debilitating fear of an object, place, situation, feeling or animal. Phobias are more pronounced than fears. They develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.
Detailed explanation-2: -A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear or dread aroused by a particular object or circumstance, to the point where it severely restricts your life. If you have a phobia, you’ll go to great lengths to avoid an object or situation that most people consider harmless.
Detailed explanation-3: -"We conclude that fear of snakes and spiders is of evolutionary origin. Similar to primates, mechanisms in our brains enable us to identify objects as ‘spider’ or ‘snake’ and to react to them very fast. This obviously inherited stress reaction in turn predisposes us to learn these animals as dangerous or disgusting.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two of such creatures are spiders and snakes. Intense fear of spiders is called arachnophobia while an extreme fear of snakes is called ophidiophobia. A recent study has made an interesting revelation for reducing the fear of these creatures in people.
