Amputatis-pullumphobia

Amputatis-pullumphobia is the fear of raw chicken. This is in the form of cutting, slicing, dicing and observing the act of dissecting raw chicken. This psychological traumatic state arises in people who relate this phenomenon to the act of dissecting human skin. As a result of this phobia many people have withdrawn from activities that include cooking due to the discomfort that arises. This phobia has roots dating back to early 19th century when the culinary arts was at its peak. Similarly we can observe this phobia present in many adolescents today specifically with roots in the southern hemisphere of the world, with a highlight in eastern Australia.

The word Amputatis-pullum is translated to 'the cutting of chicken' from Latin decent. This is a literal meaning of the phobia and the replications of it.
