Recently, I was having a Ryvita (a wholegrain crispbread), and in the past I never really noticed it, but one side of the Ryvita cracker has a large amount of grains clustered together to form the base and once I noticed it, I couldn't bear to look at it, as it just made me feel terribly uncomfortable and it made my skin crawl.
In fact, I found it so gross that I showed my boyfriend to see whether he thought the same, and I actually screeched as I was taking it out of the packet to show him. He just thought it was weird of course.
So I ended up having to flip it over, and with the toppings on top I could eat it. :-)
I guess the extent of the phobia is not so severe such that I cannot touch the item, its more just that if I stare at the cluster for a long time, I just feel icky.

About Me
- Trypo Jo
- I am female, living an otherwise normal life. But I have an irrational fear of clusters of things like sesame seeds and asymmetrical holes grouped together, for example, burnt milk crust. These things send chills down my spine, the hairs on my arms stand up, and my hands and feet start to feel cold and clammy. I am Trypophobic.....
