What is that video? Does anyone know, please tell me, it said 98% of people couldn't watch it. I can't look at the picture. Why would someone post that stuff on fb? It's so odd.

So glad I hid that on my fb feed!

Warning NSFW Boobs Are we talking about this? It's been around the internet since the early 2000's as a bot fly hoax. It's still stomach turning to look at though even thought it's photoshopped.

I hate this picture, it makes my skin crawl. I also hate the ones of children's skulls showing their deciduous teeth (although those are obviously real, but in a similar vein).

I saw this the other night and have not been able to get the image put if my head, despite going straight to snopes and establishing it as a photoshop.

Horrible, horrible, horrible

oozmakappa · 29/06/2014 00:18

It has been freaking me out ever since it was on my fb feed on Friday. It makes me feel sick thinking about it. Yuk. Glad to hear it's fake. But still yuk!

coralgrimes · 29/06/2014 00:33

its made me feel very sick since I saw it yesterday. can't get it out of my head . ugghh why do people post such horrid things!

StatisticallyChallenged · 29/06/2014 01:28

I had exactly the same reaction to this picture, it creeped me out and I could not stop picturing it. It was awful, really grim. For me it's the combination with skin/flesh rather than holes in general - when I read up and found out about the fact it's super imposed lotus seed then went and actually looked at proper pictures of lotus seeds it calmed me down considerably as I then knew it was definitely fake. Obviously this won't work if holes in general freak you out but if you're like me and it only bothers you in these sort of images it might actually help as they're very distinctive

This is why I luff mumsnet! Just seen a horrible picture on Facebook about the effects of shampoo. Didn't want to click link as I thought it was a virus, but freaked out by photo. LO and behold, come on here to ask what it is and you've all saved me the bother Grin. I can sleep easy now thank you all!

oozmakappa · 29/06/2014 01:41

Thanks statisticallychallenged, let's hope I can sleep now!

oozmakappa · 29/06/2014 01:43

I can't believe how much this image stuck in my mind. I really hope googling lotus seeds helps me and others on here who can't get it out of our minds...

StatisticallyChallenged · 29/06/2014 10:38

It is a gross picture

Birdsgottafly · 29/06/2014 10:50

"Just seen a horrible picture on Facebook about the effects of shampoo."

I love that picture.

I would love to have to pick out anything from anything living.

I've had to de-tick animals etc.

Valentinacole · 29/06/2014 21:24

Hello, please DO NOT CLICK ON IT!!! I am honestly freaked out from it!!!!! It will give you a phobia called trypophobia - which is contagious!! So do not click on it - I am petrified now ??

I had to work really hard to unsee all future posts from this girl, no loss she is really only an acquaintance. But I do resent her posting that if she did post it, or are you saying she spammed it somehow?
I am so worried I might have got infected by it, is there any way of checking potential infection by that godforsaken image !
yuck!!!

I'm so glad I've seen this thread. Horrid horrid picture. I saw it first last week, just the thought of it turned my stomach. Then it turned up again tonight, and I weirdly wanted to see even though I was repulsed.

DragonMamma · 30/06/2014 06:43

It keeps appearing on my feed too and I've suffered from Trypophobia for the past couple of years so it's making me feel so sick when I see the stills. Manmade holes don't bother me so I'm safe with crumpets!

Thumbwitch · 30/06/2014 06:48

Just seen a variation on this - lotus seed photoshopped into someone's shoulder and the tag is "You will never use Head and Shoulders again after watching this shocking video". It's more disturbing than the nipple one, but far more obvious that it's the lotus seed, iyswim.

I've just reported it as my friend's account has been hacked, the last one I reported it as spam but glad to do the better thing for this one.

I don't suffer from trypophobia but I can see why some people would, especially after these disgusting images!

MargotLovedTom · 30/06/2014 06:49

Valentinacole phobias aren't contagious.

Thumbwitch · 30/06/2014 06:58

Phobias aren't contagious, no - but they can be induced!

Thumbwitch · 30/06/2014 06:58

Thumbwitch · 30/06/2014 06:58

Bloody thing, sorry for double post.

tinofbeans · 30/06/2014 07:07

I'm avoiding clicking on the links after freaking out on simelar (sp? too early this morning Shock ) threads...

But if you can be frightened by a crumpet, can you also be freaked out by other random holey things, like a cellular blanket? Shock
