    3)vertigo

    4)xenophobic (but if it's against Americans, it's not xenophobia,...it's normal behaviour which should be encouraged)

    Wraith, although I wouldn't disagree with you in essence, I think Saint was perhaps asking for something a bit more specific.

    Obsessive compulsive can be applied to so many things apart from cleanliness, or 'the fear of germs', as I took it to mean.

    Claustrophobia is correct for fearing an enclosed space, but Saint specified Cave.

    Vertigo is a condition brought about by heights, not specifically the fear of heights.

    Wraith, you should behave yourself. I think peoples of the world are not against anyone of themselves, even Americans. They are against the US administration. There are good and decent people among Americans who do not approve what is going on in US. Xenophobia is to be hated. quack-quack
    P.S. There is some truth when you are kidding.
