Haemophobia is a specific phobia characterized by an intense and irrational fear of blood. Individuals with haemophobia may experience anxiety, panic attacks, or extreme discomfort when confronted with situations involving blood or the mere thought of it. This fear can be triggered by various stimuli, such as witnessing blood, medical procedures, or even thinking about blood-related scenarios.

Like other specific phobias, haemophobia can significantly impact a person's daily life, leading to avoidance of certain situations or places associated with blood. It is essential for individuals experiencing this fear to seek support from mental health professionals who can provide guidance and strategies to manage and overcome the phobia through therapeutic interventions such as exposure therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
