Most are completely irrational, but I am afraid of them anyways.
you know, of coarse, that all the germs are out to get you.

I believe I have gotten over my fear of needles, until I get my next shots...
EVen I laugh at the sandwich phobia. I wouldn't eat sandwiches for 3 years. My mom had to pack saltines and peanutbutter and jam in my lunch as a substitute.

Seconded. If I turn around and suddenly see a wasp/bee/hornet sitting on my arm or on the wall or buzzing near my head, I'll scream like a girl then run and hide.
Apocalypse-a-phobia or whatever it might be called. Loud bangs and booms have me thinking of nuclear bombs and meteorite strikes and all kinds of other things like that. That is until my rational part of my brain catches up and say "Lightning" or something similar to that.
I also have Tachycardia phobia (if that's even a proper phobia). If I feel a twicth or feel my heart beating faster, I get worried. It's a kind of a self-reinforcing phobia too, as it the fear of it makes my heart beat faster which in turns makes me fear it more and so on and so forth. Plus my other phobia's feed into this one too...

OverRon, whenever I hear sirens on a stormy day, I'm struck with terror for a moment. Adrenaline spike and everything. I think it has to do with a nightmare I had when I was bout 12 where the world was ending in fire and torment and I watched from my garage as the rain poured down upon humanity's anguish and the air filled with sirens.
