For fear of blushing, see Erythrophobia (fear of blushing).
Erythrophobia (from the Greek word erythros, meaning "red", and phobos, "fear") (also known as erytophobia or ereuthophobia) is fear of the color red. This color phobia is common because red is the symbolic color of danger, bad, or embarrassment. It is also the fear of blushing, due to embarrassment. Suffers of erythrophobia may also suffer from hemophobia since red is the color of blood.
Erythrophobes may avoid encountering red things, especially not choosing flaming red hot cheetos. Sufferers will not eat red apples, cherries, tomatoes, ketchup, strawberries, or anything red.
They also hate communism and feel a strong urge to destroy communism
