Yep - You have it.
It can be a serious condition where people are unable to enter
buildings, or even walk down a street because of a fear they may be
confronted by a rodent. Jackie once helped out a local mental health day
centre by lending them some rats for someone's therapy. Interestingly,
this rodentophobe was not phobic about gerbils.
