As with most phobias, the cause of such fear is usually the result of a negative childhood experience. A bubble was popped in the face and caused discomfort or the person was enclosed in a bubble shaped object, such as a Water-Walking Ball, and had a negative experience.
Most fear the bubbles popping near or on the face or becoming trapped in a bubble of some sort. They suffer from anxiety and nausea at the sight of bubbles.
Like most phobias this one can be cured with therapy and / or medication for the anxiety one experiences as a result of the phobia.
