Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
There's no official name for it but it is called insecticide phobia and fits into the natural environment subsection of phobias in the DSM-IV-TR. Maybe when DSM-V comes out, it'll be included.

let me check.
Iophobia- Fear of poison
I scanned pretty quickly and that was the only one I found. This was the website I used, if you want to look again, and I think they have some seacrhs if you want to describe the phobia. If you were just curious I would still recomend going to it it's pretty hilarious. There's this huge long word for being scared of long words. LoL. Anyways:

They just make those fancy "-phobia" words by stringing together greek words. Fear of insect poison would probably be called Entotoxiphobia (ento=crawling things, toxi=poison, phobia=fear). I don't know any greek, so I might have put the words together wrong. A psychiatrist would just call it toxiphobia(fear of poison).
