Dr. Evil's Face Your Fears series of caches will highlight common phobias (fears) that many people have towards common everyday things or objects. Some phobias are steeped in years of conditioning and survival instinct. Some fears come from childhood experiences. Some fears are just irrational but cause anxiety and reaction nonetheless. Dr. Evil thought it would be interesting to create some caches just to see how cachers react to certain phobias. Each of the caches are designed to exploit, expose, and trigger a phobia response (assuming the cacher has that phobia). Many cachers will have no issues with these caches and some may decide to just DNF and walk away. Dr. Evil may add to the series from time to time as he gets a notion to. Good luck facing your fears!
This cache is Ostiophobia more commonly known as the fear of bones. The name of this fear combines the Greek words 'Osteon' meaning bones in English and the word phobos meaning fear. People with this fear will avoid areas and settings where they may see bones. Food containing bones such as fried chicken on never considered by persons with Ostiophobia. Halloween is a nightmare for persons with this phobia. Extreme cases of Ostiophobia may cause one to stay indoors during the Halloween season, have a strong aversion to food with bones, and become light headed or have a panic attack when faced with the sight of a bone. Extreme cases often require medication and therapy to overcome this phobia.
For this cache you will have to Face Your Fear. The bones were bleached but they are real and still have that bone smell (yes bones have a smell until the marrow is completely gone). Good luck! Gloves are not provided.
Congrats to Kitty716 & RebelPenguin on the FTF!
