    Like most phobias I think most people experience discomfort with this imagery but to really have a phobia it needs to be an unreasonable level of anxiety I think.

    IDK why we have a hard wired aversion to these. It might be a vestigial response to some kind of predator or danger which is no longer relevant.

      I think it signals severe ailment, like blisters, pox diseases, etc

      I think that it disgusts me and makes me extremely uncomfortable. I would avoid it at all costs and I would probably freak out if I wound up unknowingly close to it. It is a weird type of fear. I can’t explain why but my body will insist I stay far the hell away.

        These kinds of pictures remind me of some type of weird infection

      Were you to wake up one day with something like this in the skin of your leg (it can happen), I think you would realize why it’s can become a phobia 🤣 Also, I hope that never happens!

  Oh, you talking about bot flies?

    It’s a fear of looking at things with a lot of holes

      They’re implying botfly larvae are similar because they burrow into your skin.

        Those vile frogs where the babies hatch out of the back of the mother. Do I have this phobia, or is that also the most unnerving thing YOU’ve ever seen?

  I didn’t even understand what I was seeing and I started shivering instantly. Now feel a deep urge to scrub my skin with steel wool.
