Fear of Flying<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Eiffel<\/p>\n

\u00a0(Sorry, We were taking a picture of an airplane, but it flew behind the Eiffel Tower.)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

FYI: Aviophobia or Aviatophobia – The fear of flying<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A phobia<\/strong> can be based upon rational and irrational fear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A classic case<\/em> of a phobia that has intrinsic value<\/em> for each side is the Fear of Flying<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Logically, it is hard for the untrained person to believe that a big piece of metal flying through the air, and against the pull of gravity<\/strong>, would have any chance of landing safely. However, this feat has been accomplished numerous times, and has a high reliability<\/em> that you will wind up safely at your destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even airplane pilots<\/strong> make a few jokes about it:\u00a0 “Landing a plane is a controlled crash<\/strong><\/em>” paints a picture of the stresses the plane undergoes at the most critical point<\/em> of its operation.<\/p>\n

Recent research<\/em> has shown there may be physiological reasons<\/strong> to consider as well.<\/p>\n

Deep vein thrombosis<\/strong> is a regular worry now amongst airline passengers<\/strong>, which is a clotting of blood<\/em> mostly in the legs due to sitting for long times on flights. But this can mostly be countered by compression stockings<\/strong>, aspirin<\/strong>, and walking around.<\/p>\n

Changes in the brain<\/strong> are not as apparent, but can still be felt. Some results can be quite severe. Frequent jet lag<\/strong> produces stress-induced hormones<\/strong> that can result in memory loss<\/strong> and brain damage<\/strong>. Other stress related events<\/em> around travel can add to an already burdened mental process<\/em> and cause further problems.<\/p>\n

So, the next time you travel to Paris<\/strong>, and forget Iconic landmarks<\/em> like the Eiffel Tower<\/strong>, you may be suffering from this malady.<\/p>\n
