Combustophobia?

For reasons passing understanding, earlier today the office was abuzz with discussion of our collective fear of spontaneous human combustion. It's not that we'll suddenly burst into flames. No, that rarely happens. It's this slow smoldering from the inside. Anyhow, there are, of course, books on the subject (Faith, Madness, and Spontaneous Human Combustion to name one) and even t-shirts are available.

Spontaneous combustion happens more often than you would like to think. If you have ever seen "Faces of Death" you would know what I am talking about.
