is there a name for having a fear of your neck being cut/slit?

I’ve had this ever since I could remember. When I read stories in the newspapers about it I’ll unconsciously move my hand towards my neck to cover it. I sleep with a pillow across my neck always. I don’t let anyone touch my neck and i’ll get pretty angry if someone does (even tickling for example).

    There is no specific phobia for getting your throat cut, but there is a phobia for dying: Thanatophobia or Thantophobia- Fear of death or dying.

    It might also be a phobia of pain. Known as agliophobia or algophobia.

    I came here wondering if there was a name for it too. ? I don’t fear dying or even pain… But I just cringe when anything comes near my neck.
