As with most phobias, the root word derived from Greek or Latin is combined with the Greek suffix phobia, meaning fear, to create the clinical term for said fear. In this case, the root would be from the word "Bovine".(of or relating to cows) [Late Latin bovnus, from Latin bs, bov-, cow. See gwou- in Indo-European Roots.] So I would conclude that the term you seek is....... Bovinophobia. Post: I could not find any authoritative answers on the web using "Bovinophobia" as the key search parameter. Only chats and blobs and the like. Apr 29 06, 1:51 PM

If you are morbidly afraid of leaves, what is the clinical name for your phobia? What is the clinical name that would actually scare the person suffering from this phobia? What is the formal medical term for "Mad Cow Disease?" With all the buzz going on about mad cow disease, just what are the nutritional differences between eating beef, chicken, and fish? Would it make any difference in terms of nutrition if you never ate beef again?
