Musophobia. You're certainly not alone, but I can't say I share this fear. Growing up I mainly thought of rats as prey for the cats we always had around. Not particularly scary. Like most people I tend to flinch of one of them comes straight at me (fleeing a cat, most likely) as they are a bit icky. But as long as they stay out of my way, I can even see their cute side.
Of course these are normal house rats, I donno what the subway rats are like.
They totally fucking freak me out.
