Fear of cluster holes scientifically called tryptophobia. It does not suffer from such a small number of people. The essence of this condition is that a person experiences an inexplicable fear at the sight of small holes or small rhythmically repeating patterns. Psychologists believe that this way manifests an archaic fear of poisonous snakes and insects.
What is the fear of cluster holes?
In some people, these manifestations reach even the fear of holes in the body. They are horrified and disgusted at the sight of enlarged pores, scars, traces left by burns, etc. They begin to get nervous, tremble, feel sick at their sight, or even lose consciousness.
The phobia of cluster holes appears sometimes at the sight of harmless and even beautiful things: seeds in the head of a sunflower, a bubbling surface of a lemonade, a pattern on the petals of plants.
And, not every cluster of small holes leads a person into horror. Some things, for example, hives cells, porous grain bread, capillary drawing on raw meat - lead a person into a panic, while others - drawing on chocolate, weaving a basket or a terry towel does not cause any emotion . Studying these phenomena, experts came to the conclusion that only that which reminds of some dangerous things inspires animal fear, and other objects that do not seem harmful, leave him indifferent.
