Geocache Description:

Fear not the micros, they really do not kill fairies. Do you ever look at size of cache and then difficulty and then the terrain and go "OH NO, I'll Never Find IT." Maybe you have microphobia. LOL BYOP, may need a tool for extraction of log, and please take time to replace as well or better than found. If tethered do not remove tether. STEALTH A MUST> BUSY AREA AND LOTS OF MUGGLES

Fear of Fish Phobia – Ichthyophobia Fear of Fish Phobia - IchthyophobiaIt is quite common to be afraid of sharks (Galeophobia), but many times, individuals are even afraid of small and seemingly harmless fish. Such an irrational or persistent fear of fish is called Ichthyophobia. The word originates from Greek “ichthys” which means fish and phobos which means fear. Many cultures, especially the Navajo tribes, are known to fear all kinds of aquatic animals, including fish. Thus the entire tribe is termed as “Ichthyophobic”, however, in this case, the fear is not psychological as much as it is cultural or mythical. They believe that all aquatic beings are taboos and hence they refuse to touch or eat them or even dive deep into water bodies where they may encounter these creatures. In case of fear of fish that originates due to psychological factors, the phobia can cause the individual to be afraid of dead or living fish. Such people tend to have a full blown panic attack even at the sight or thought of fish. This can negatively impact one’s day to day life.
