Guys, the fear of needles will probably pass. Really. I was the number one needlephobic of all times and the worst part was that my dad was a doctor. Let's just say that the family can tell many stories about what all I did to people who were trying to give me shots many years ago.

But you know how psychologists attempt to rid people of their fears by gradually exposing them to bigger and bigger doses of them (aversion therapy, I think)? When you have a baby, you have blood taken several times and then there's the epidural...after a few babies, I was cured. And even if you don't have babies, you just end up having blood drawn more and more, the older you get. Employment physicals, pre-surgery physicals, that kind of thing. I know lots of young people who are petrified of needles but no middle-aged people or older.
