👉 Pyrophobia is a medical condition characterized by intense fear of, and avoidance from, the burning or hot appearance of fire. It can be triggered by exposure to smoke, flames, or other heat sources that are not properly extinguished or controlled. This fear is so extreme that it can cause significant distress and can interfere with daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or even walking. Symptoms may include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, trembling hands, facial flushing, nausea, and dizziness.
