There's nothing instinctive about it. Wufwugy gave a credible sounding explanation but it's not correct. All phobias are a learned response. A defence mechanism that the body has developed. Same goes for most allergies, including hayfever.

All phobias can be removed in 5 - 20 minutes.

It's not hard wired into our brains or part of our genetic make up.
