Now that HIVs is more rampant across North America, and that there are plenty of careless drug users out there with needles, nothing freaks me out more than a syringe.
In fact, I stepped on one once (don't worry, didn't penetrate). It still freaked me out. Now, people are using needles as weapons, purposely spreading disease by poking infected needles into others.
Last time they drew blood with a needle, I fainted.
I have a phobia now. I always look at the ground wherever I walk to avoid sharp objects, and whenever someone touches me, I jump away in fear. Yes, I know I'm paranoid.
But most of us dislike needles for the ominous look and pain it causes. Ours fears can now be put to rest.
