I suffer from trypophobia which is a fear of tiny holes. For example i cant look at holey cheese, honeycomb, woodworm, lotus seed pods etc.
It physically makes me feel uncomfortable.
I feel itchy all over and seriously freak out!
Ive got goosebumps right now just thinking about it!
Anyone else got it or know of anyone with it??

I once got this email about a female entomologist who got infected with this burrowing worm type thing that hatched in one of her breasts. They had pics and everything.

I checked it out on Snopes and it transpired to be a fake, someone had photoshopped a lotus pod onto her breast and made a very good job of it.

That was over a year ago and I still feel queazy thinking about it now! The chap who sent me the mail said he affected him for a few weeks after as well, it was disgusting, the kind of thing you cant get out of your head for ages after.
Yes!! I know exactly what you mean. It's not that I have an actual fear of the holes, they just make me feel weird and horrible! its really hard to explain, but even just thinking about it makes me feel funny!!! I am so glad I am not alone, most people think I am very strange for having a phobia of little holes!!!
I'm not usually bothered by them - only on this occasion, I find whatever creeps you out also fascinates you;

Heres the link, if you dare!
