In Real Life, hemophobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme fear of blood. Treatments exist, but the condition tends to be lifelong and is usually caused by childhood trauma. In fiction, being Afraid of Blood is much the same, though the symptoms tend to run a rather more colorful gamut from mere extreme discomfort or nausea to falling unconscious on the spot to awakening superpowered evil sides. Note that there is some scientific basis to this: physical reactions uncommon in most other phobias have been recorded in cases of fear of blood. In the past, this trope was mostly associated with females, in both fiction and real life, which is why most Damsels in Distress share this condition (good thing there's No Periods, Period). In the present, this trope is usually Played for Laughs (or — with equal effort — for tragedy) by giving it to someone in a medical profession or other position where they're likely to see a lot of blood. If the character is justified in being afraid of blood, perhaps they fear The Power of Blood. Subtrope of Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?. Compare Afraid of Needles and Afraid of Doctors. Contrast Hemoerotic and Blood Upgrade. |

In episode 49 of Ranma ½, Ranma suffers a hit on the head while falling into the Tendo dojo's pond which not only turns him into his female form but also makes him think he is actually an extremely feminine woman (unlike his more boyish fiance, Akane). The episode plays Ranma's hyper-femininity for laughs, and at one point Ranma sees Akane get a minor cut while cooking dinner and almost faints, saying he "can't stand the sight of blood." | |

In Duel Savior Destiny, the ninja Kaede has a surprising weakness to the sight of blood. It developed after she saw her parents killed in front of her and she was splashed with the blood, which is a rather dark spin on the idea considering how it's almost always played for humor. | |

In The Awkward Adventures of Meghan Whimblesby, blood triggers nausea in Meghan. She may vomit, or cry tears. For comedy, blood appears several times. In chapter 1, Meghan sees too much blood and faints. She wakes inside The Lord of the Rings, not a peaceful setting. Injured fighters, dead corpses, and Meghan's own period all bring blood. | |

Fire Emblem: Kurthnaga, the Dragon Prince in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, can't stand the sight of blood. This is more or less used as an excuse to justify him not becoming playable as soon as he joins the party, and he (mostly) gets over it by the end of the game. It also has the effect of rendering him Awesome, but Impractical, however, because by the time he does join the other characters are so much stronger than he is so there's little reason to use him. Linhardt of Fire Emblem: Three Houses can't stand the sight of blood, gets overwhelmed after his first kill, and emphasizes how much he dislikes fighting. He's primarily a healing unit, but you can have him attack if you want. |

Happens in an episode of Bones where a fanboy of her books is accused of reproducing the murders in her latest novel to come out. He faints after being given a Nose Bleed. A bit of a 'did not do the research' as he was in the pilot episode and had no problems staunching the bleeding leg wound on the murderer after Bones shot him. Unlikely he would have developed a blood phobia after that, when showing no problems at the time. | |

Gus from Psych has a very strong fear of blood: In "Tuesday the 17th", Shawn is able to figure out that he's being tricked by Gus when his friend casually wipes blood on his pants (which is actually fake blood) instead of the expected reaction of running screaming from the room. In "This Episode Sucks", Shawn accidentally squirts the contents of a blood bag on Gus, leading to Gus going into a catatonic state for a short time. |

Dexter Morgan from Dexter has this, to the point that his entire career involves interpreting and cleaning up blood. If too much of it is in one location - say, several murder victims' worth absolutely soaking a room - he will pass out (or vomit, or both). This is tied to his witnessing the chainsaw murder of his mother when he was a toddler. | |

Kari Byron of MythBusters is a surprising aversion. To those unaware, Kari is a (usually) strict vegetarian who is absolutely disgusted by the sight of animal parts and meat in general, and since producers are fond of putting Kari around meat and animal parts just get her reactions on camera, fans are very well aware of this phobia. Which makes it rather surprising when one episode has Kari reveal that she doesn't mind the sight of blood at all, and actually finds it "kind of pretty". | |

Naruto: Tsunade was originally considered to be the greatest medical ninja in the world, but she developed a crippling fear of blood after her fiance Dan died while she was trying to heal him. It would be several years before she managed to overcome her trauma. Gaara had this problem as well, not blood in general, but his own blood. Up until his fight with Sasuke, Gaara's protective sand made it so he'd never been injured in his entire life. Seeing his own blood for the first time didn't rest well with him. |

Homestuck: Karkat Vantas is bothered by blood, mostly his own, and at one point passes out after seeing a lot of it. Blood colour is a Serious Business in troll society, and Karkat kind of gets the short end of the stick. This is why he never lets anyone else know what colour his blood is. It seems Roxy might suffer from this after she fails to perform a Kiss of Life on Jane, but she is never confirmed hemophobic. Reflecting on the incident, Roxy is unsure whether she was put off by her friend's bloodied corpse or put off by reluctance to invoke Les Yay. |

The X-Files: The episode "Blood" features a man with this phobia, which makes it both amusing and concerning that he's more afraid of the person coming to his house to collect a blood sample for a "cholesterol test" than the appliances in his house that are telling him to kill people. | |

In Grrl Power, one supervillain boasts that "Fair warning, my skin is impenetrable and my claws can cut through anything." Sydney immediately pits these statements against each other by smacking his hand mid-pose; his unstoppable claws cut right through his not-quite-impenetrable skin, and he promptly faints at the sight of his own blood. | |

Baldur's Gate III: In a camp conversation, Minsc recounts an incident where Astarion walked in on him while dressing his wounds. Astarion turned pale, licked his lips, and trembled violently, which led Minsc to conclude that he's afraid of blood. The opposite is true; Astarion is a vampire, and he was holding himself back from drinking it. | |

Martin from Doc Martin. Sets up the whole series, as his aversion to blood halts his high-flying medical career in its tracks and causes him to become a GP in a small rural village. He sought therapy to correct it in season 4 and seemed to be over it by season 5, however in season six he started to have problems with blood again. | |

Hogan's Heroes: In an episode LeBeau was shot in the shoulder and they found him unconscious. It turned out to be a very minor wound and he had simply fainted at the sight of the blood. Another episode has Klink ordering Schultz to take Newkirk to a dentist to treat a supposedly rotten tooth. When Klink orders Schultz to stay with Newkirk every minute even when the dentist is working on him, Schultz says that the dentist may have to pull Newkirk's tooth and that he cannot stand the sight of blood. |

Tough luck, all the other doctors of the base she works in were gone by the time the arc began, forcing her to treat patients herself, even though she's just a pediatrician.

In the comic book of The Mask, one character who goes after the Mask is a mob sniper who can't stand the sight of blood. He manages to shoot The Mask (which does nothing because of his powers), but the Mask still makes a big show of the injury, only to pull his hands away causing a drop of blood to drip out of the tiny bullet wound. This causes the hitman to faint. | |

Later, when he gets another cut while rolling down the hill into some more bushes, Tommy gets even more worried. But Chuckie helps him get over it by showing Tommy that his original cut has almost healed. As the adults come over, upon seeing Tommy's bleeding hand, Chaz passes out. | |

The trauma of what he witnessed and did, coupled with seeing his sister's and her killer's blood all mixed together and covering him, left its permanent mark. Not that he's any less a Faux Affably Evil pirate, mind, as he has no problem having his underlings brutally murdered for screwing up, he just wants it done cleanly or, if blood is spilled, it's cleaned up quickly. | |

In Horatio Hornblower, Hornblower himself is somewhat afraid of blood—as with the Aubrey-Maturin example, he gets through it during battle because he's too keyed up and busy to think about it. In calmer settings, however, it gets to him. When forced to endure fire for an extended period before he can return it, he has to fight down the urge to vomit at the sight of his men being killed. When watching a surgeon treat an amputated limb, he nearly faints, and imagining the process of slaughtering a ration bullock ruins his appetite for beef. | |

When he asked to intimidate Robin, he makes sure he is not expected to bite, because he does "not do well around blood."

After rival gunslinger Colochez—whom he had shot through the throat—collapses on top of him and bleeds all over his face and clothes, he undergoes a Villainous BSoD. That night he has a nightmare of Colochez bleeding on him, and when he wakes up and finds blood on his face and hands, he panics. When he discovers that the blood had come from the Soiled Dove he spent the night with who had started her period during the night, he becomes furious and throws her out of the room and starts stripping all of the bedclothes. | |

Although OWEN of The Municipalists is a snarky artificial intelligence hologram that runs on a massive supercomputer (and a huge fan of classic Gangster & Western films), he can't stand the sight of real wounds up close. He panics while attempting to advise his human partner Henry on how to treat the injuries Henry received in a nasty fight. OWEN's freak-out over the realization of Henry's mortality is so intense he ends up overloading his circuits and "passing out" for a few minutes. (Later on, OWEN gets a software update that makes him much less squeamish — a move which ends up saving Henry's life.) | |

Papa Lazarou from The League of Gentlemen is so freaked at one point, he runs out of his own show. Granted, it's probably nosebleeds which he's probably never encountered before, rather than the actual sight of blood. | |

Bella from The Twilight Saga gets sick from seeing a tiny bit of blood in the first book. It's actually the smell that gets her. She can watch an extremely gory action movie with no problems. This trait of hers seems to turn into a forgotten trait by the time of the fourth book - she certainly sees no problem with having to drink blood to stop herself from dying during the pregnancy. | |

Played for laughs in Just Like Heaven, when David is talked through giving someone a tracheotomy by Elizabeth's ghost. After he successfully does this, he asks what something on his hand is. Elizabeth calmly tells him that it's just a little blood and he promptly faints. | |

Richmond Valentine of Kingsman: The Secret Service, as detailed in the above quote, has a weak stomach when it comes to blood or death and cannot stand to see it despite the fact that he's a supervillain in all but name. When he shoots Harry Hart, he turns his eyes away at the last moment and freaks out about it. In the end, when Eggsy spears him from behind with Gazelle's prosthetic, he vomits at the sight of his own blood. | |

The Finishing School Series: Dimity Plumleigh-Teinmott, protagonist Sophronia's best friend, passes out every single time she sees blood. Her brother Pillover is exasperated and derisive of this trait. The one time she doesn't, it's because Sophronia's friend Soap is dying, and she says the situation is too serious for fainting. | |

Ace Attorney: Dick Gumshoe can't stand the sight of blood, which is especially odd considering he's a homicide detective. This is lampshaded a few times by characters. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies introduces Norma DePlume, who is also afraid of blood. Apparently Norma was once attacked during an interview and was badly injured. It helps what she thought was a violent orca attack which resulted in a large amount of blood leave a strong impression on her. |

Ako Izumi from Negima! Magister Negi Magi is an example of this trope being Played for Laughs: the class health representative and an aspiring nurse, yet deathly afraid of blood. In the original manga it's not played for laughs; it's implied to be an emotional scar from some sort of accident in her past (that also left her with a large scar across her back). At one point, she gets a small scrape on her forehead and when she realizes she's bleeding, she goes lightheaded and faints. | |

Mickey from the Firefly game of Cool Kids Table is so scared of blood that as soon as the crew gets onto the Alliance ship covered in blood and guts after the reaver attack, he passes out. He does this every time he sees the ship's interior, except for the one time Roc is able to slap a pair of literal rose-coloured glasses on his face. | |

Henry from Sanctuary has a weird relationship with blood. When several wounded refugees are brought in, he is asked to help bandage them but is reassigned when he says, "You know about me and blood." But when he is asked how he'd feel if he came across a dead animal and he'd smell its blood, his pupils dilate—even though he answers "Sad". | |

Niles Crane from Frasier will automatically pass out if he sees even a tiny little speck of blood. In one episode he accidentally pricks one of his fingers on the sharp point of a pair of scissors, and the drop of blood he sees causes him to faint and reawaken only to notice the small bit of blood on his finger and go through the whole cycle repeatedly. However, he's brave and calm in the final episode when his wife, Daphne gives birth. | |

Kurthnaga, the Dragon Prince in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, can't stand the sight of blood. This is more or less used as an excuse to justify him not becoming playable as soon as he joins the party, and he (mostly) gets over it by the end of the game. It also has the effect of rendering him Awesome, but Impractical, however, because by the time he does join the other characters are so much stronger than he is so there's little reason to use him. | |
