Recent studies report Blood –Injection Phobia in the Indian Sub-continent to be more prevalent in females (23.86%) than males (11.19%). Although the condition may not seem to hamper daily living, it can prove to be dangerous when presenting with co morbid diseases that need immediate medical help. We present a case wherein the presentation was one of avoidance of the feared situation to the extreme, further emphasising the need for medical professionals to keep Blood Injection Phobia patients on record to assist them in availing required treatments.
