I have had a fear and loathing of matches since I was 3, my Brother made a School project of a boat which held matches.

When I was three I struck a match and burned myself, ever since then over 40 years later I cannot bear the smell or the thought of matches.

The word for the fear of match sticks is "spirtophobia." This describes both a fear of the box of matches and of the matches themselves.
