Phobia Success Stories

A phobia of bees (melissophobia) or wasps (spheksophobia) can be acquired from experiencing a distressing or unpleasant event with them as a child. In the case of Shana, this is definitely the case, with her being petrified of bees and wasps since childhood.

An intense phobia of bees (melissophobia, or apiphobia) can become more problematic in the summer months, when bees appear in greater numbers. For Angela, summer is a season to be feared rather than enjoyed for this very reason.
