The fear of poison is called “toxophobia.” It is an anxiety disorder characterized by an irrational fear of being poisoned, which may lead to avoidance behaviors related to food, drinks, medications, or substances perceived as potentially toxic.
The fear of Being Poisoned is also known as Toxiphobia.Toxiphobia may be the result of earlier traumatic experiences that can be directly (or indirectly) linked to a specific object or situation, but this is not always the case because fears can also be inherited as socially acquired beliefs from the social context in which a person is brought up.The good news is that the majority of people who suffer with a fear of Being Poisoned will find a course of psychotherapy highly beneficial.
