Venephobia-fear of veins

...See more Anybody got it? It seems like a very rare phobia, and I can't find many people on the internet that have it. I did/do have a general fear of blood/shots/doctors, but I recently realized the bigger problem is veins. None of this is tied to a negative past experience; I believe I inherited the blood fear from my dad. I have to go get my first blood test today, which of course comes from the veins in my inner arm. Tied to the whole vein thing is a fear of wrists, inner arm, and back of the knee areas, as they have obvious veins. I once passed out because a lady standing in front of me in church had veiny legs. Just reading about veins makes me feel like I'm going to be sick and faint.
