Thermophobia. An abnormally excessive and persistent fear
of heat, including hot weather and hot objects. Sufferers from this fear experience
anxiety even though they realize their fear is irrational. To avoid heat, they may
live in a cold climate, wear light clothing, stay indoors on warm days, and avoid
hot water and hot foods.
T hermophobia is derived from the Greek "therme" (heat) and "phobos" (fear).
The opposite of thermophobia is cryophobia, fear of the cold.
