anyone else afrais of getting needles in foot?

is there anyone else out there also afrais that your getting pricked in the food by needles which are laying on the street? i mean if its dark and you dont really see its always possible that a needle will penetrate your shoe sole and than go in your foot. im afraid everytime when i step on something. i mean most of the time it probably is a little stick from a tree or anything but it could very well be a needle. so there is always a danger i think... would be interesting to hear if anyone else out there has a similar problem

Why would you be at risk of walking over needles in the first place?

If this is a phobia that concerns you a lot, I would suggest consulting a therapist.
