Phobias
What gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

TCP fear
Often masks a fear of hospitals/medical situations as the smell of TCP has become the 'default' antiseptic-y smell.
As an aside, olfactory stimuli are one of the most powerful links to memory going - TCP in my case links to getting a BFO chunk of glass in my foot on Cromer beach and being patched up by Mumsie. Instant flashback. I can still recognise the perfume worn by the first Love of My Life, and the smell of fox pee instantly reminds me I once slept with a ginger bird.
