Fear of frogs
Fear of frogs and toads is both a known specific phobia, known simply as frog phobia or ranidaphobia (from ''ranidae'', the most widespread family of frogs), and a superstition common to the folkways of many cultures. Psychiatric speciality literature uses the simple term "fear of frogs" rather than any specialized term.〔"Psychiatry Specialty Board Review for the DSM-IV" (1996) Psychology Press, ISBN 0-87630-788-8 (p. 97 )〕 The term batrachophobia has also been recorded in a 1953 psychiatric dictionary.〔Jacob Shatzky, Leland Earl Hinsie (1953) "Psychiatric Dictionary: With Encyclopedic Treatment of Modern Terms", Oxford University Press, ( "Fear of frogs" )〕
==Popular beliefs==
According to some, the sight of a frog may be a bad omen. As well, a common myth says that touching frogs and toads may give one warts. (In many other cultures, frogs are considered a good omen.) A survey carried out by researchers from the Johannesburg Zoo have shown that in modern times old superstitions play a less significant role and modern children are more concerned whether frogs are poisonous or harmless.〔("What do kids think about Frogs?" ), an Johannesburg Zoo article〕
