Planned Contribution to the Page

[edit]

Hi,

I’m hoping to add to this article going forward, and wanted to share some proposed changes and contributions, as well as some additional sources I’ve located. Generally, I’d like to lengthen the lead paragraph a bit, go through the article to ensure all claims are properly cited, and add some additional information to the various sections. I would also like to add a new section about how this phobia can bar sufferers from working in health-related fields. Let me know your thoughts.

Images

[edit]

Should there be images of the thing(s) that trigger the phobia on here? User:Natureium appears to think so, whereas I do not, especially since I have a phobia and have come to wikipedia to learn more about it. So I was looking to see what others here thought.

I agree with you on this. I shared a link to this page with a friend without noticing the image in the hope of helping them. Now, thanks to the magic of modern messaging services, the image has automatically inserted itself in to the conversation with my friend and the hope of helping them has instead hurt them. Is an image of blood really that illustrative that it is worth this?

I also came here to learn about a phobia I may have, and although I can handle the image it certainly doesn't help. I don't think it adds anything of value; people know what shots are like. I'm going to remove it. I suppose someone could re-add it if they really feel it's important.
