Adornments added to a human's body. Not like 'hair barrettes' but like veneers, fake nails, fake hair, fake lashes, most piercings, tattoos. There has to be a name for this. I'm far from a hippie/I don't wear burlap and no makeup, but I get a creepy feeling at people who hide behind these- like they are delusional and not able to clean themselves very well with all these weird add-ons and doo-dads.

Automated car washes. Just scary as hell.

The soap water that a bar of soap sits in. Ew.

Or make me feel ill at ease.

For instance I saw many of those weird pumpkins this Halloween, the ones w/all those chickenpox-like bumps & they made me feel itchy.
Or if I see a tree covered in holes where a woodpecker pecked that also makes me shudder.


I agree! Anything with holes gross me out. I need to change lanes when Iā€™m behind any kind of truck with pipes. The little holes at the end gross me out. I canā€™t figure out why. My mom felt the same way!


Same with me. So much that I have nightmares about it. Recently someone near me was eating a pomegranate and I got so queasy I had to leave.

I read that itā€™s hypothesized the fear comes from aversion to skin diseases. The idea being if someone has a skin disease with a bunch of bumps and clusters, youā€™ll be grossed out and stay away. Funny enough, both my kids have had molluscum badly, so I was grossed out by my own kids for over a year.


You are not alone!

While it varies with different people, I also start feeling itchy, even sometimes scratching my arms because I experience such discomfort when I see clusters of bumps or a group of holes.
And yes, I agree it is definitely an aversion to skin afflictions for me.

-> I first noticed this bothered me while watching a movie (cannot remember the name?)
Michael B. Jordanā€™s character was covered in multiple bumps all over his chest and body and when that scene came on, I felt this unusual sense of extreme discomfort > it was almost unbearable for me to watch the rest of the movie because I just couldnā€™t unsee it after that!


+1
Yes he was a superhero in that movie.
I hated that scene as well and cannot recall that film but seeing him all covered in those bumps made me squirm!

Sneeze smell. It smells like cinnamon when people sneeze. I want to vomit when I smell that scent after someone sneezes.


You've never kissed anyone? Do you have kids?

I especially hate when someone has tossed a banana peel into a non-kitchen trash can. Like in an office waste basket, or the bathroom trash at home.
