My cousin was afraid of blood. She was passed out once while she saw blood of her brother in hospital after an accident. She was afraid to donate blood to the Red Cross, and nothing related to blood. So, are you afraid of blood too?

Actually I suffered from haemophobia when I was youger, During high school there was an incident that I passed out after seeing an experiment on blood typing. It was so embarassing.I get so scared whenever I have to go to the doctor and have blood tests I pass out all the time I just becomes anxious and all. It was a problem for me for I wanted to be a nurse or even a doctor at that time. From then on I promised myself I will overcome my fear of blood. So I went to college I took a pre med course which will tackle all subjects such as anatomy and physiology there were times that we have to practice taking blood from one another. I did conquer my fear of blood and I'm so proud of what I have accomplished.I dont get too squeeshy seeing blood now in fact I worked in a hospital for a while and one of my job descriptions was blood extraction.:)

I'm not afraid of blood. I am going to be going to school for nursing so I would be in trouble if I was afraid of blood. I do give blood but I do not like to look. I more or less have a problem seeing blood come from me if it's a lot. Once I had a huge gash on my head from a car accident and passed out. But my brother had cut his arm from wrist to elbow and I took care of it my mom couldn't handle it at all.

Not really, i've seen blood so many times. But i'm afraid to inject and harm people. I can't stand their expression.
