Funny!! Having a phobia over aluminum foil!!?? That is the understatement of the day!!

I don't think there is a particular name for it.

I remember watching an epiosde of some talk show (I think it was Maury) where someone had this fear. Also on the same episode a person with a fear of cotton balls was featured.

I'll never feel sissy for my fears of spiders and aging again!

She's not really afraid of it, it just makes her sick. She like cringes when she gets around aluminum foil. I don't understand it, but I guess I do have my own neurotic tendencies.

I remember watching a talk show and this one woman was scared to death of people in costumes.

I've read several times that Billy Bob Thornton has a phobia of antique furniture.

Here's phobia list.

That is true. He is also afraid of the number 7.

There are a lot of bizarre fears out there. I have never heard of an aluminum foil fear though. I have a fear of ceiling fans. Yes, I am being serious.
