A member asked:
Would it be considered irrational to be scared of mosquitoes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends on : Your degree of fear. If you believe that they are demonic that would be irrational. If you believe -that they will kill you - in the absence of a bad allergy - that would not be realistic. However, if you fear getting getting bit with intense, itching for a brief time - that is quite normal. If your fear is excessive, would encourage you to see a therapist who does cognitive behavioral therapy.
