Geocache Description:

Conquer your phobias before they conquer you! Though this cache is not on school property it is very near a school. Please don't look sketchy as you search for this one! You should bring a pen and may even want tweezers with you.

Katsaridaphobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of cockroaches. Sufferers of this fear experience undue anxiety even though they realize that most cockroaches pose no threat. To avoid cockroaches, they may frequently clean rooms and carpets, sweep hallways, spray insect-killer or seal off doors and windows.”

One of the primary causes for this phobia can often be traced by to a previous incident involving cockroaches. It could be a family member had previously suffered a traumatic experience involving cockroaches and instilled a fear simply by recounting negative thoughts about the roach. It might have also been reinforced at a time when the adult spotted a cockroach and expressed incredible fear. This scenario can take childish fear and amplify it many times over.

There may be other causes and many individuals can’t pinpoint the exact moment the fear started. They simply remain acutely aware that the fear is extreme. It is generally a profound negative first impression and then the desire to never have the same experience that contributes to the ongoing fear.
