I was making turkey sandwiches today at work and the turkey had all these discusting little holes in it that triggered my tripophobia and i nearly vomited. Even thinking about it makes me shudder. Does anyone else have this?

I don't have it, but I looked it up and it sounds like a horrible condition to have.

I am unfamiliar with the term, so I googled it. Lots of really weird pictures associated with it, some of them are kind of creepy. Like they are trying to freak out people.

I can see how the turkey put you on edge. Some of the processed meats have a really weird texture and look. I find turkey to be the worst.

Oh my juices, I have this! The things that actually triggered my phobia like yours were termite holes on wood and some beeholes on wax... I can't believe someone shared the same condition as mine, and I didn't know it was phobia this whole time! >m<
