Needle phobia Class 1

[Milu]

Hey all! So I am at the point of wanting to start my carrer soon as a pilot, as this is truly my dream. Soon I would like to get my first class 1 done to see if I do not have any factors that do not let me become a pilot, one of my concern is my needle phobia, even though I know it is only a bloody finger prick test, I still get nervous, it should not be that bad though that I faint, though I am scared my nervousness can create different results from reality. Anybody thats in a same situation? Any advice? Thanks in advance!

If you are coming into aviation you better get used to needles as there are a lot of vaccinations required for international travel.

The blood test results will be identical whether you're nervous or not.

I absolutely hate needles. I just say I don't like them, look away, and ask the person doing them to just get on with it without a warning and while talking about something else.
