OMPHALOPHOBIA – fear of belly buttons
Almost every mammal has a belly button, the scar on the abdomen left behind from the umbilical cord. Unfortunately, the majority of omphalophobics fall into this category. With reasons ranging from a fear of “guts spilling out” to sneaking suspicions that bits of umbilical cord may have been left behind at birth, a number of individuals are inexplicably disgusted by the navel. One of the most famous individuals afflicted by this fear? Khloe Kardashian.
