I have a fear of stuffed animal and animal heads. I can’t walk past them when I see them in museums or houses. I thought that the correct name for this fear was Doraphobia, but then I read somewhere that that’s fear of fur. That’s not right, because Im not scared of the fur itself. Anyone got any other ideas?
Deborah… Thanks anyway! I think I may have a phobia of taxidermy.
