FlyGirl answered Saturday February 7 2004, 6:26 pm: Don't worry about it. SHC is not real, just another of those urban legends. When I was younger, like 10 or 11, I wouldn't be able to sleep because I feared I would combust. It hasn't hapenned, and it never will. All those pictures they show on TV are digitally-made. They aren't real. But you should see a psychologist to get over your phobia. Take care, dear.
DruidX answered Friday January 16 2004, 10:20 am: No. This may be simply an irrational fear, those are very hard to get over. But this might also be the result of a child hood traumer. I suggest talking to some fort of proffesional and getting help. I belive you can make home apointments with some.

OneMan answered Tuesday December 2 2003, 5:51 pm: Well, no, it's not. But then again, most phobias aren't. What's interesting is the fact that you feel this will take place upon leaving your home. This suggests that it may NOT be a fear of spontaneous combustion, but rather an acute form of heliophobia, which is the fear of the sun. I'd like to be able to discuss this in depth to get a better understanding of your fear and thgen I could be in a better position to assist you. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
Ansatsu answered Sunday November 2 2003, 12:25 am: Yeah, people are afraid of everything. Some people are afraid of their own shadow for christ sakes. Tell your parents to let you go see a Psychiatrist, so you can get doped on meds and never be yourself ever again. Have fun, and don't explode. [ Ansatsu's advice column | Ask Ansatsu A Question ]
Mihalis answered Wednesday October 22 2003, 3:08 pm: I must admit I haven't seen anyone suddenly start spontaneously combusting in the middle of the street...or in building either for that matter... [ Mihalis's advice column | Ask Mihalis A Question ]
chocolatenutbar answered Sunday October 12 2003, 5:04 pm: Has anybody ever told you that spontaneous combustion is just as likely to happen in your house as outside of your house? Go out and live your life. If you're going to spontaneously combust, you'll do it wherever you are. Being curled up in a ball in your bathtub won't do anybody any good, and it won't cure your fear either. [ chocolatenutbar's advice column | Ask chocolatenutbar A Question ]
spacefem answered Sunday October 12 2003, 10:04 am: Not exactly, but I guess it depends on your definition of normal in the first place. In my opinion, you need to do some serious research. Catching on fire really isn't that bad in broad daylight with plenty of space around you. I mean, people set things on fire all the time that come out looking even better than they did before! Overcome your fear and set yourself free, my friend. You won't regret it. [ spacefem's advice column | Ask spacefem A Question ]
