ETA: also, is "zemmiphobia = fear of the great mole rat" in reference to some pop culture or something? I'm pretty sure there's no such animal or phobia, but it apparently made it into some list, and now it's on all the gullible sites:

Fear Of The Great Mole Rat Drugs & Medication
NO DRUGS!

We do not encourage the use of drugs and medication because we see them as a ‘mask’. They may help you deal with your fear of the great mole rat, but they do not actually help you overcome it.

No drug has ever been developed specifically for fear of the great mole rat, and none can ever cure the root cause, only suppress the symptoms. And with all the uncertainty surrounding potential side effects it is hard to justify popping a prescription as a healthy solution.

The good news is you can conquer your fear of the great mole rat without drugs.

I don't know! Maybe it's some kind of nutty euphemism? I don't know what kids are calling them these days! They're small and cute and they burrow? I couldn't make any sense of it either and was turning it into some kind of crazy spam!

Well, so, all the better reason to invest in some good barrier methods!
