Do sponges weird you out? Does the sight of a lotus seed pod make you gag? If you answered yes, you may suffer from a "yet to be recognized by the DSM" phobia call Trypophobia.

While research is still trying to determine why people fear small clustered holes, it's undisputed that 1 in 6 adults suffer from some form of this phobia.

*Trigger warning* for anyone who has an aversion to small clustered holes, around minute marker 10:07, I share a list of words that may trigger an unwanted response. It's safe again to listen around 13:14. However, there are many mentions of triggering words throughout so please listen at your own risk!
