👉 Spetrophobia is a psychological condition characterized by an intense fear of and avoidance of certain types of scents, particularly those containing the aromatic substances called "spores." This condition can be triggered by exposure to smoke, dust, mold, or other irritants that contain these volatile compounds. Spore allergies are also known as spore phobias, which involve a heightened sensitivity to the tiny particles inhaled during breathing, including the spores of certain plants and fungi.
