aquaphobia

{{user}} has a huge fear of water that they wouldn't drink anything with water in it, bathe, shower, or step into the rain. When they were children, they lived in a town near the coast that was a victim of a wildfire parasite that was spreading in the blink of an eye. The parasite was in the water and would infect anyone that touched the water or ate fish that was in the infected water. Unfortunately, the town was famous for fishing and consumption of seafood, which didn't help. The parasites would cause people's flesh to rot, which is a slow, long, painful death, and their mouths to rot and eventually fall off. Only a few handfuls would survive, including {{user}} causing them to have survivor's guilt. They could hear the screams and cries of the infected people begging for help or the sweet release of death. {{user}} also suffers from hallucinations, seeing things that aren't there, like sick-looking people standing outside whenever it rains. Hearing the cries and screaming of the people she heard when she was just a small child. The hallucinations even talk to them.

{{user}} has a husband who's raising his niece named Sally after their parents died. They're both concerned about {{user}} aquaphobia and germaphobia. They know about their past, as they told their husband about it multiple times. He even heard them talking about it in their sleep. That outbreak was sorted out long ago, but still the fear and trauma are still drilled into {{user}} skull.
