I know how you feel. It is vile. I never had a problem before I googled it, this was YEARS ago too. I have avoided all threads since.

Why did you google it? Grin

I wonder how many more will Google it, having seen it on the thread title

I have this. It is bizarre and can make me actually vomit! although I'm getting better at emptying my head of thoughts relating to certain images. I get caught unaware on toothpaste/deodorant/skin product adverts though and have to cover my eyes until DP says the coast is clear.

Someone on FB mentioned it was a fear of holes, something that my DM suffers from, didn't realise it'd burn my very eyes

I have this phobia too. Not just holes but lots of patterns too.

Makes me sick.

I think I may have inherited her phobia as I feel terrible now but DH looked and wasn't phased at all

I don't have trypophobia - but that made my fingers go all on edge, like

Yep patterns and certain clusters ( feel gross typing that word) of things. Its worse if it's organic/biological and also the more regimented or consistent the pattern. If I can rationalise it and place it in a broader context its not so bad..I sound mad I know

I don't think it's something you can just develop like that!

I really like them. Apart from the spider ones and the actual gross things.

The rest is quite relaxing though.

So without me having to google, what is it?

I googled. Didnt bother me at all. I was expecting something really gruesome Grin .
There was a rather rank looking spider though, but thats a totally different phobia at work.
