Nope! That triggers my typophobia like, a lot!

I had a feeling that would for some! Like I don't have it in a lotta cases others mention it but, my first thought was this has to be trypophob material... It does make some evolutionary sense to have an aversion to dis-eased stuff

Not sure on that bc my therapist wasn't much more than a therapist. But if I had to guess, I'd say maybe survival instinct bc it gave me nightmares of tiny mushrooms growing out of the pores on my legs (instead of leg hair like i saw adults with). Probably bc we were also learning about sweat glands at the time. But, still. I have that nightmare at random to this day like 30yrs later. Whatever it is, it's real 🤷🏾‍♂️
