I looked this up cuz my three yr old son has the same fear of pine cones and i think its really odd. Its kind of good to know that hes not the only one.
It started when he was about one yrs old and i took him to the park. There was a pine cone on the little play bridge and he was scared to go across because of it. I picked it up to show him it was ok and he freaked.
Since then he will not go near them, he screams and runs if you pick one up to bring to him. So i wanted to see if there was a term for this fear and found out that you guys have the same fear. Any solutions for me and my son???

I thought I was the only person in the world with this odd phobia! I'm sure it happened cause I saw a whole heap of them blow towards me when I was a baby in a pushchair (along with my twin who also has the phobia). I suppose I thought they were "coming to get me!". My mum told me she picked one up to show us and we yelled our heads off - the phobia has been with us ever since!
