What is Bromidrosiphobia?

Bromidrosiphobia is the fear of body smells. The origin of the word brom is Greek (meaning stench, stink, bad odor or unpleasant bodily odor) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear).

Bromidrosiphobia is also known as Bromidrophobia, Bromidrosophobia and related to Autodysomophobia (fear of one that has a vile odor) and Olfactophobia; Osmophobia, Osphresiophobia (fear of having certain odors).

What are the causes?

It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias. (Wikipedia - phobia).

As with any phobia, the symptoms vary by person depending on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking. .

Medicine can be prescribed, but please note that these medications can have side effects and/or withdrawal systems that can be severe.
