Suriphobe- Who Said That a Mans Best Friend Was The Dog?
Filed Under (Health) by nohardtimes

A suriphobe is someone who suffers from a phobia that has to do with mice and other rodents. The condition is referred to as Suriphobia and is also known as musophobia. It is a French-Greek composite word, “souris” in French mean mouse and the Greek “phobia” which means fear. It is a highly specific phobia, like Paraskevidekatriaphobia for instance, and as opposed to other broader phobias like agoraphobia, which has to do with broader social situations. The one who suffers from Suriphobia, the Suriphobe describes the phobia as an intense feeling, that posses them causing intense and irrational behaviors that persists for the duration of an incident. It is recognized medically and is considered a a true clinical phobia. There are many ways to heal this phobia and to free oneself from being a suriphobe. Here are some:

1. Get a cat or two….ok jocking aside there are ways to do so.
2. The suriphobe must realize that the fear is triggered by a socially conditioned response rather than a disorder. If you think about it, the suriphobe is much bigger than the mouse, and if the situation becomes serious, if it comes down to survival, if the suriphobe needs to take action, they can always step on the mouse.

In extreme cases the suriphobe can feel the effects of the phobia even when seeing a mouse from a distance or even on television. Unfortunately there is no medication for the suriphobe, but it could be cured with therapy.

These phobias are fascinating. I knew people are afraid of mice but I didn’t know that went on to that extent.
