Drano Phobia: I understand your fear of using Drano for bath tub. It seems that this intense fear started in childhood and created intense emotional turmoil in you. Feel the Blessings of your Mind with Perspective, Present Reality and Logical Reasoning and ask; Is your fear excessive? Is your fear unreasonable? Is avoidance of Drano unhealthy? Do not be victim of your Phobia, Be Captain of your Life!

Phobia maybe?: The fear of "anything" can be defined as a phobia. Is it a fear of using Drano or is it that you have the strong believe and conviction that the Drano is coming back at your skin? The latter would be considered a delusion or "paranoia" as you describe it. The phobias are treated with different kind of medicines than the delusions. I would consult a psychiatrist to see if it's a phobia or a delusio
