What are some fears/aversions that you have that aren't 'normal'?

For example:
I am scared of the wooden stick in ice creams/lollies because if I touch them with my tongue it makes me feel weird and shake.
I am also get a bit weirded out by crumbs in cling film after someone has eaten a sandwich.

Balloons!! Don't mind them hanging up - but am terrified when one strays over in my direction or if anyone pretends to 'burst' one near me. I don't mean I don't like - I mean I really have a phobia about it, real irrational fear. Apart from that and heights - but that's pretty common.

I'm scared of most condiments. Like ketchup and mayo. will not touch them or anything containing them. I've never tried either and I have no idea why it is but I can't watch people eating them or stand the smell of either. and if ketchup gets too close to me I will probably cry.

Walking by water or over bridges with water underneath. I'll do it cos I love the scenes but it gives me the wobbles. Theres a bridge where I live which is over a river and it has totally open sides, just strips of wire for a fence, called Cobweb Bridge and I practically have to crawl across the thing.

I don't like the feel of velvet, sends shivers up my spine.

One of my cousins can't touch cotton wool. She says that 'squeak' when it's compressed goes right through her
