What's with you and all these damn phobias? I know of a few that you do have, and a few no one could ever accuse you of. First what you don't have:
Paraphobia and Medorthophobia
Now, the ones you have (that I know of):
Ataxaphobia, Cheimaphobia, Mageirocophobia, and definitely Phronemophobia (who can blame you for that one, you're blonde!)
Now this one is debatable.....Logizomechanophobia.

Heliophobia has two meanings:
-a specific phobia: dread or avoidance of sunlight
-excessive sensitiveness to sunlight.
Since heliophobia forces its victims indoors, heliophobia causes a Vitamin D deficiency problem.
Heliophobia is a relatively common problem that afflicts hundreds of Americans, but one that suffers from a lack of true research. The Pacific Health Center suggested that many people have been staying away from the sun because of growing fears about skin cancer. This is not technically Heliophobia, simply an unfounded and illogical solution.
In chemistry or biology the terms heliophobic/heliophobe refers to an organism or substance that is sunlight-sensitive or has an aversion to sunlight.
Heliophobous plants are commonly known as "shade-tolerant".
The classic history of heliophobia can be seen easily in most modern vampire stories (Nosferatu was the first to claim heliophobia as an attribute of vampires), in which it was shown that vampires had a total aversion to the sun. This heliophobia was considered a "telltale sign" of witches, vampires, and demons.
The was a short-lived magazine Heliophobe (3 issues, 1994-1996), described as "a not-so-sexual fetish magazine exclusively devoted to pale-skinned women". [1]
Heliophobe is a 1997 album by a German rock band Scumbucket [2]
