And if you have panphobia you fear, literally, everything.

That sounds more like 'fear of frying'.

>fear of frying

He he!

Or fear of others frying! My wife's cooking often inspires that. Although, since such a fear is entirely rational, I don't know that it qualifies as a phobia.

Anyway, not sure it's a very common word. It has a Google-number of only 169.

This is the best I can find:

panphobia

<psychology> Fear of everything.

Origin: pan-+ G. Phobos, fear
