This is kind of random, but I have wanted for years to make a post about trypophobia, which is something I experience. I don't particularly like the name trypophobia ("fear of holes"), though, because it's not exactly a phobia, nor is it limited to holes. So instead I'm going to call it "texture squick," which I think more accurately captures the experience.

Just a heads up that the first part of this post features a lot of detailed description of creepy things that might make you uncomfortable (certainly made me uncomfortable writing them), and the second part of this post features a lot of images which will be highly unpleasant if you have texture squick (but probably look perfectly innocuous if you don't).
