cotton balls

Here is something someone wrote about their
fear of cotton balls:

I too know the agony of having a
headache and a brand new bottle
of aspirin and no one around to
dispose of the cotton standing
between me and a pain free noggin.

I can not find the official name for the fear of
cotton anywhere. If someone knows what it is,
please let me know. The closest I can find is
Textophobia but that isn’t it exactly. Textophobia
is the fear of certain fabrics and textiles. Weird
huh?

The reason for this post is, last night at the
dinner table, my father in law told us of an ex-
employee of his that was so afraid of cotton balls
that when he touched one or heard the noise
they make when one squeezes one he would
faint right there on the spot. Weird huh?

Read these peoples reactions to cotton balls. It
truly is irrational but real as anything.
