Belief that an inanimate object is somehow so inherently evil that a mere sketched image of it can harm someone has got to be a mental illness. I have no clinical experience in this but I would imagine the cure would involve a gradual introduction to the object.
I would stress that anyone this ill is highly unpredictable and a great deal of caution should be used when introducing them to dangerous objects such as motor vehicles, firearms or sharpened pencils.
