Myrmecohomophobia

Myrmecohomophobia: noun. Although you may think this is the irrational fear of ant-men, it is in fact the irrational ant fear of humans. As can be evidently seen when they are crawling all over your shoe, ants are extremely afraid of humans, to the point where their minds go numb, when they see a human. This phobia is the origin of the phrase: "They're more afraid of you." The authors of this blog have no opinions about this phrase whatsoever. *cough* infuriating *cough* In very rare cases myrmecohomophobia has been discovered in humans. For example a woman from Moloka'i was discovered believing she was an ant and scurrying away from humans on all six. This is particularly interesting due to a lack of a native ant species on the Hawaiian islands.
